Myrtle Beach – Mehera Blum considers himself to be born as from Myrtle Beach.
Although the parents of the fashion designer in Westborough, Massachusetts, were born, they moved to Grand Strand as a year. They wanted to be near the Meher Spiritual Center in the Briarcliffe Acres area.
Blum is the namesake of a woman named Mehera Irani, who is said to have been the closest student – or mandali – of the Indian spiritual master Meher Baba. When she was 7 years old, Blum had the chance to meet her mother and well -known artist, the late Laurie Blum, Irani on a trip to India.
“This first trip was like a fairy tale,” said Blum. “I remember all the flowers and colors. Mehera was the most incredible soul I've ever met. I didn't see it back then, but I think she launched my design business.”
Irani gave Blum and her mother some money to buy on a local bazaar for fabric. They used the material to make clothes.
“This was the first time that I had made clothes for myself with a tailor. I designed her,” said Blum. “I made clothes for my barbies when I was small – but this was the first time that it was done for me.”
These early designs were the goal for a flourishing career. Blum now lives in Los Angeles and it has lost it in her company Blumera.
Celebrities like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga wear Blumera handbags, and the early user Jessica Alba and Eva Mendes helped to bring Blumera on the map in the fashion world.
Recently commissioned Gaga Blumera, two lamps and a chandelier for your home.
Although Blumera is long known for its hand -carved luxury handbags made of wood and brass, Blum has also branched in mural, wallpaper, lighting and tailor -made furniture. She will return to her hometown on August 28th. For a trunk show in the Dunes Golf and Beach Club. The show will contain pieces from your fashion company.
“We will have about 60 bags, the wood carvers, the painted wood-carved bags and the brass bags,” she said. “I will have a chandelier and pictures of the ordered pieces, murals and furniture that can be commissioned.”
The Trunk show is a whistle on a tour that recently contained the Hamptons. And then it goes on to Montecito and Bel-Air, California, with a future date in Monaco that has to be determined.
The long -time girlfriend Kaci Vaught from The Vaught Group/Ex Realty is part of a group of women who organize the Trunk show.
“I worship Mehera and it was such a nice journey when she unfolded her life,” she said, adding that she had hit Blum more than 15 years ago when she was invited to an earlier trunk show.
The meeting led to an immediate friendship.
“She has a presence about her,” said Vaight. “She works with all these amazing artists and celebrities around the world, but she is so modest. She has this external beauty and a daring imagination – and they only collide in these creative, organic works of art.”
Vaight said she owned several Blumera handbags and she said her decision to organize childcare was a child's play.
“I want to share these luxury pieces with all,” she said. “And it is so cool. Since she is from here, I know many women who want to have the chance to meet her.”
Despite all of her success, Blum said that her local roots were deeply important. Her mother died in 2015, but she is inseparable from flower and work.
“I used her pictures for inspiration in my work,” said Blum. “It uses your pictures – so I take your flowers, your birds and put them in others [media]. “
