After gaining recognition by starting the J.Crew jewelry collection in 2006 and continuing to developing its aesthetic through 2011, Lisa “Lele” Sadoughi, decided it was time to launch her own eponymous lifestyle brand focused on jewelry and home decor. Lele Sadoughi's styles incorporate travel, art and architecture while using genuine stones, hand-painted enamels and czech crystals. Lele’s passion for jewelry was cultivated during her time at Ippolita in 2005 where she began designing custom private label pieces for Neiman Marcus, Banana Republic, Anthropologie and Club Monaco. In 2006, J.Crew approached Lele to create their first jewelry collection. As the company’s Jewelry Design Director, Lele created a successful collection one season after another for five years, earning herself industry-wide credibility as a top costume jewelry designer. After J Crew she became the jewelry Design Director for Tory Burch before launching her own line. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Lele now resides in the West Village neighborhood of New York City with her husband. Lele Sadoughi's designs have been featured in top fashion magazines including InStyle, Marie Claire, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle amongst many others and worn by many celebrities including Jennifer Hudson, Jessica Alba and Tory Burch.
