Laila Wahba is a self-taught jewelry designer with an avid love for vintage and heritage pieces, which she translates into modern-day jewelry.
Growing up in Cairo, Egypt, into a family of antiques collectors, Laila would often visit weekend auctions with her father where she developed an eye for the arts. She always had a keen eye for fashion as well, which she later
fused with art to create the statement jewelry pieces she’s famed for.
After having graduated from the American University in Cairo with a BS in Marketing and a minor in Art, Laila first pursued a career in development, working for the Ministry of State for Family & Population as part of a UNICEF project. Soon enough, she realized her passion lay in jewelry and creation which led her to making a bold move by quitting her job and starting her jewelry brand in 2012.
In 2013, Laila launched her debut collection, featuring bold, statement pieces adorned with colored precious and semi-precious stones.
She became fast known for this distinct style combining eclecticism with a modern twist on heritage styles.
