About
Orna Lalo - designer extraordinaire!
Orna Lalo is a graduate of Shenkar College for Fashion and
Textile. She began her professional career in 1990 designing
distinctive fashion accessories. Her unique look and imaginative
eye brought her much attention by leading fashion designers
for custom work on the runway.
Color,
shape and texture play a significant role in her original
designs. As Orna shares, "People ask me what inspires my creations.
So, it's this: all the dresses I always wanted to wear. Everything
I always wanted to be. My dream that one day I'll stand on
a big stage and I'll be a singer. When I design, I try to
capture that feeling of longing. I always think about the
person who will be using my products, I want my colorful creations
to smile at you and make you feel good."
At Body and Bath Gifts, we couldn't agree more!
Every
time we wear her pieces, we're literally stopped and asked,
"Where did you get that? It's just wonderful - I've never
seen anything like it!"
   
The
Factory
Established 1999 Orna takes her designs to the local villages
surrounding the factory in Bulgaria (her homeland) and teaches
the local women, young and old to assemble the pieces, where
the fond intentions of everyone who touches them are carried
with them. Orna is drawn to the honest, simple life, to the
love of nature and to the traditions there. Her business is
fair-trade where many employees work at home, thereby helping
to boost the family income. Currently, she divides her time
between her home in Israel and the company's factory in Bulgaria.
Her pieces are widely sold throughout the United States, Germany,
France, the UK, Australia, Japan and Israel.
We
are thrilled they are part of our "collection" of wonderful
hand-crafted jewelry available through www.bodyandbathgifts.com.
