Ori Lehavi on Creating a Legacy Handbag Brand
Manage episode 449760142 series 3510686
What does it take to carve out a niche in a market dominated by global giants? Join us for an inspiring exploration with Ori Lehavi as he shares the remarkable story of his mother, Daniella Lehavi, who paved the way for designer handbags in the early 90s. Despite facing sexism and a lack of recognition for design as a profession, Daniella built a standout brand that captured the hearts of many. Ori offers personal anecdotes from his childhood, revealing how their living room doubled as a studio and showroom, embodying the challenges and triumphs of pioneering in an industry largely uncharted for women.
The episode unfolds into a poignant narrative of legacy and personal growth. Ori opens up about the emotional journey of stepping into the family business straight out of university and the profound impact of continuing his mother’s legacy after her sudden passing. He shares the inner workings of navigating the expectations tied to a family-run enterprise and balancing them with his architectural interests. Discover how Ori draws inspiration from global brands to reintroduce vintage designs while adapting to the digital age of fashion, all in a bid to honor and evolve Daniela's esteemed brand. This is a story of dedication, innovation, and the enduring spirit of a family legacy.
