After obtaining her master&#8217;s degree in Boston, Haddad decided to return to Lebanon to launch her handbag and accessories brand. We interviewed this young entrepreneur to learn more about her brand and business! <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B>Q: Tell us a little bit about why you decided to come back to Lebanon.<\/b><br \/>  Liana: I wanted to come back despite the economic situation, mostly to help support local artisans who were struggling to make ends meet. I found that despite hardships, there was nothing that could quite beat Lebanese craftsmanship.<br \/>  <br \/>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cg5Ba0vMVnb\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe><br \/>  <br \/>  <B>Q: What is the inspiration behind Jolia Brand?<\/b> <br \/>  Liana: I truly wanted to leverage my skills and expertise in order to help my country.

The ten models are my original designs, and our Lebanese artisans are able to bring my vision to life and add their own special touches. This creates a collaborative design that is at the heart of what Jolia stands for. <br \/>  <br \/>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CiZJinrql5Q\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe><br \/>  <br \/>  <B>Q: What makes Jolia Brand unique?<\/b><br \/>  Liana: Jolia Brand stays true to its roots.
