What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do

THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM I ISSUE 11 28

What inspired your SS15 collectionThe overarching theme in all of my collections is geometric ndash it runs through my veins And itrsquos always been about art deco This one more specifically was Navajo art infused with pop art and optical illusion art This allows you to feel a movement in the bag while itrsquos still

You primarily use shell in your creations How did you discover this techniqueWhen I moved back to Dubai from New York in 2012 I had sketches but I had no idea where I was taking it in terms of material Irsquod try different things but they were never really what I wanted My mother has a flower shop in Dubai and she has beautiful vases and elements that are made of shell so I decided to call the manufacturer He guided me to a factory in the Philippines

How long did the whole process takeOne week later I was in the Philippines with my designs trying to make the pieces Then about four moths later I had the prototypes in hand It took time for people to warm up to the collection at first but it was a domino effect A lot of things happened in the first two years good and bad Itrsquos quite surreal

Whatrsquos next for youItrsquos important to show people that Irsquom consistent Everyone wants to see that I can keep going with what Irsquove started

QampAThe Cash Collective sat down to lunch at Harvey Nichols Dubai the first store in the world to launch the SS15 collection by the Beirut-born designer

TALKING POINT CLUTCH CONFIDENTIAL

NATHALIE TRAD

ndash stay consistant stay true to myself stay true to the brandrsquos DNA Hopefully Irsquoll expand in the future perhaps homewares but not anytime soon

How does your design process flowWhen Irsquom designing itrsquos important for me to forget that Irsquom designing a clutch because therersquos so many constraints when you think about a bag Wersquore designing a piece first and foremost and then function follows I like to stay curious and stay creative

Whatrsquos your advice for selecting a bagThe most important thing for me is that people recongise themselves in a bag Itrsquos not about a name itrsquos not about a trend For me the bags that I create without sounding pretencious are heirlooms I want it to be something that you can keep for a very long time that you can pass on I want the piece to be an extension of who you are I want you to really feel some sort of chemistry

Did your mum hand down a bag to youIt wasnrsquot a bag but it was the bangles that I wear (pictured) She bought them when she was about my age in a Souq and now I never take them off So yeah there are a few special pieces that I enjoy wearing because therersquos something more than just the material in it itrsquos the meaning behind it

29 ISSUE 11 I THE CASH COLLECTIVE COM

What are three things you always travel withA clutch for sure Oxfords because theyrsquore the perfect pair to wear without being in heels And always a piece of home maybe a piece of jewellery my husbandrsquos given me or something that just warms my heart when Irsquom away

What does your husband think of all of your handbagsI donrsquot have any handbags I just pick them from our sample collection But hersquos been extremely supportive and helps a lot on a day to day basis He has a consultant background so it can be very handy

Whatrsquos your fitness routineI never have a routine itrsquos so up and down I try and go to the gym at night because Irsquom not a morning person I try and go three times a week but Irsquom not always very successful

And your food routineI donrsquot have much time to cook but when I do I try and keep it simple steamed vegetables quinoa protein that I like to grill and infuse with a bit of flavor to keep it a bit more exciting

What does your typical day look likeNo two days look a like Right now wersquore in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week so itrsquos quite hectic working until 4am photoshoots colour corrections getting everything on point then I work from home once Irsquom out of the office

How do you stay energisedI never used to drink coffee so now I have an espresso in the morning and that keeps me awake The most

important thing for me I know itrsquos cheesy but hugs I need my hugs I really do
