Gennifer Birnbach What does it mean to be an Alembika woman?
It means feeling confident, without being showy.
A certain classicism, but with topspin and a wink.
Funky, but with clean and flowing lines.
Prizing comfort without foregoing chic.
When I wear my Alembika, I rock it.

People comment on my style and panache.
Where did you get that they ‘ll ask.
Tel Aviv, I say, if I want to sound worldly.
Or, I let them in on my NYC showroom visits, where Yael and her staff give me their undivided attention, with cookies thrown in to sweeten the experience.
I hate to shop but I love to shop the showroom.
I leave feeling like a Queen.
I am that Alembika woman.
