Q&A with Shari, Owner of Filoni
Did you always want to be a retailer?
I was born into retail, began selling jewelry at 4 yrs old. That’s a story I’m not sure you want.
What would you do in your next life?
In my next life I’d rescue dogs
What are your Top 5 “must pack” travel items?
I must carry with me when I travel: Hand sanitizer, water + remedies (homeopathy), collapsible hiking stick, phone with charger plus noise cancelling full ear covering headphones AND lipstick.
What’s your favorite season and your go-to wardrobe?
My favorite season is autumn. I love sweaters, warm socks, fingerless gloves also known as sleeves which cover the wrist pulse adding a favorable amount of warmth and lastly hats of course.
What’s your favorite Alembika style and what makes you love the brand?
I love Alembika for the intriguing combinations of textures and fabrics. This includes both strong color palettes along with plenty of charcoal/black combinations. Also, I love selling the Iconic Jeans (and wearing them myself).
