Mary Rambin in 3rd Year with Moe, Prepares Spring Line
25 y/o designer Mary Rambin recently kicked off her third year as the President of Moe Bags, a NYC-based design house best known for producing The CLICK Bag, a leading evening accessory for stylish women. “For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a television producer, so of course I went to the best school for TV and Film and interned the three years I was in school. However, when I graduated, I realized my heart was no longer in it. I took a year off traveling and working in retail when I had the idea to start my own company by reinventing an old design that no one had really ever seen. So I started Moe.” As is the case with many young entrepreneurs on the site, Mary occasionally runs into bumps: “As I am the sole owner in my company, finances are always a concern, especially with the retail market in decline; however, the support of one celeb or one department store can always get you back on track.” And what is definitely a testament to her hard work more than luck, select products from her line were recently picked up by Bloomingdale’s and have been seen hanging from the arms of leading celebs for the past year.
For the Spring 2008 line, Mary will be moving production to China and introducing a few new twists. “Spring will have something for everyone: metallics that are always a favorite, linen to go with floral dresses, and the returning classic colors that have proven to be timeless.” You can also follow along with Mary’s style tips at her blog, StyleByMaryRambin.com.
