Avadora Mimouni’s Haute Couture Handbags are simply unforgettable sensations. Celebrities, socialites and those who love glamour adore her handbags. Her collection was displayed beautifully at the world renowned Gold Coast’s gem of a hotel and estate, Oheka Castle.
Oheka Castle is the largest private renovation and the second-largest private residence in the United States, located in Huntington Long Island. It is known as the Otto Kahn Estate because it was originally built by the financier Otto Kahn in the early 1900s. WE channel has described the castle as the number-one wedding venue in America. Kahn’s daughter was the first woman to be married here. Just like Otto lived in the castle, now owner Gary Melius, who bought the castle in 1984 for 1.5 million dollars, lives in the same room on the third floor. If the Castle’s walls could talk you would discover scintillating stories of countless celebrities, artists, and world figures, of old, including Charlie Chaplin, Arturo Toscanini, George Gershwin, Marion Davies, among others who visited the Kahn’s Summer home.
Today, Outstanding Designer, Avadora Mimouni, visited Oheka. She was born in the Blue Island, Faial, part of the 9 Azores Islands of Portugal, off the coast of Africa. The designer is an absolute gem, as is her line of “wearable art” luxury bags adorned with upcycled materials. They are becoming increasingly popular among women who want to look and feel like gems. Inspired designer and model, Avadora’s creative ways started in her youth. She expressed herself through theater and modeling in fashion boutiques. She moved to Manhattan in 1994 to pursue modeling gracing the covers of magazines, walking prestigious runways, and appearing in acting roles. Her latest role is as a very inspired designer, making the world and its inhabitants more beautiful.
The Avadora Mimouni line began in 2018, when Avadora attended an event wearing a purse she had created and was surprised by the immense adulation she received. She was then inspired to launch her Avadora Mimouni Collection. Her collection received dramatic admiration from women of all ages. Her startling and gorgeous luxury bags are “wearable works of art,” making those who carry them look and feel more beautiful. Her line has appeared in NYFW every season since 2019, to great response, barring the pandemic.
Model and Philanthropist, Lorraine Silvetz, has represented the Avadora Mimouni campaign since 2021. While walking the runway for Avadora Mimouni collection she was inspired to create “Models of Philanthropy” which raises funds, from NYFW ticket sales, for worthy causes. One of the foundations and causes closest to her heart is Global Stress Initiative (GSI) which she founded in 2010 for the non-invasive treatment of PTSD among veterans/service members, domestic violence and human trafficking survivors. GSI’s non-invasive treatment methods have 99% efficacy. Fashion events bring many people together so inspiring everyone to look beautiful while making a difference for those less fortunate is at the heart of “Models of Philanthropy.”
All women agree that you cannot wear an Avadora Mimouni bag without making a statement, being asked where you got the stunner, who designed it, since they steal the show wherever you go. They are beyond unique and beautiful, and each one is one of a kind, just like the women who wear them.
The designer and acclaimed model, Avadora Mimouni, illustrates that beauty is timeless, and her gorgeous bags symbolize each woman as a precious gem. Her luxury bags adorned with upcycled materials remind the wearer of the precious gems that they are. Let’s face it, the more we feel like precious gems, the more we act that way, and so the world becomes a better and more beautiful place – one gem at a time.
