1. You now live and work in Los Angeles. What’s your favorite part about being based there? 

First off, the weather haha. Also, Los Angeles is a city where people come to make their dreams come true. With so many diverse types of fashion that you see here, it’s cool to be able to contribute my style and bring a little bit of Moroccan flavor to the mix.

2. How did you get into the whole shoe world and become a shoe designer?

I have always been drawn to fashion and design. My closet is full of clothes and shoes from all of the top designers. Since fashion has always been a passion of mine I wanted to figure out how to put my mark on the fashion world. 

 

3. How would you describe your brand?

BALGA is a brand for the bold. It’s not just a shoe, it’s a lifestyle. The design for our shoe takes root in traditional Moroccan culture infused with a modern look. The rich history of Morocco is stitched into each pair, taking you back hundreds of years. We create authentic handmade styles from Moroccan leather to ensure comfort. Each shoe style is produced in a limited amount to preserve their uniqueness.

Our mission is to deliver confidence, style, and comfort all wrapped in one amazing shoe.

5. L.A. attracts and has a wide array of celebrities, do you think they will rock your fur slippers?

Absolutely! A lot of celebrities are on ground zero of a lot of fashion ideas and I choose to believe that once any of them see a pair they will want to be at the beginning of this trend.

100% Social media is the perfect platform to launch new and great ideas and that is what I will be using it for. Our generation is completely engaged on social media and it is the best place to reach the most people possible.

The goal is to open a BALGA store
