About Us
Hi!
It's Marina from ImEarringsLover!
I am the founder of ImEarringsLover and the main designer & creator of our unique products. And I am so happy that you are here, enjoying our products, learning our story and sharing our values and I would love us to continue our connection and mutual appreciation.
But let me first briefly introduce myself and tell you how I ended up here talking to you and sharing my love of beauty with you.
Our story:
In the end of 2015 my beloved husband got a job offer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and in the beginning of 2016 we moved from Moscow to Riyadh. There are many stereotypes about both countries, Russia and Saudi Arabia, I don't want to waste your time discussing what is true and what is false, but I want to stress that they are definitely different in terms of culture and climate.
To cut a long story short life in Saudi Arabia gave me 2 important opportunities:
1) I learned to appreciate the power of accessories in personal style
Ladies here in most cases wear either abayas (just google it if you don't know what it is) or maxi dresses in public places - everything covered and modest both in shape and color. But they mastered the art of accessorizing! So I've adopted this style as well and I loved it so much that I started creating my own accessories.
2) We managed to save up some funds to be able to launch ImEarringsLover.com
Saudi Arabia is quite a young country, and it develops so fast - you experience historical changes almost everyday. But on the other hand, it is still quite "innocent" in terms of the number and variety of social life activities that make you spend money for leisure, so the country still has great environment to both enjoy your life and save some funds.
Thus I've decided to try (of course it was a longer path, but here I am). I have so many ideas to bring to life in my head and so many people I imagine in my head who share my love of style and my values:
- STYLE - it is not only about the item itself, its beauty, craftsmanship, materials etc, but also the way you wear/use it. I love finding new ways to style my accessories and making them multipurpose. Feel free to find inspiration in our social media @ImEarringsLover on Instagram and Facebook and share yours with the hashtag #ImEarringsLover_accessocies.
- SUSTAINABILITY - I don't want to green-wash here: yes, not all of our items are sustainable and not all of the processes of our business are sustainable, BUT we do appreciate it and do as much as we can for now to reduce our footprint, like upcycling, choosing natural materials (fabrics, gems, metals, packaging), paying carbon offsets for shipping, supporting environmental charities and projects where and when possible, etc.
- SERVICE - We value every single one of you, your interest, your support, your time, and we try to do our best to offer you fast, reliable and smooth shopping experience at ImEarringsLover.com. In case you have any questions or requests, please, feel free to contact us via contact us form, or by emailing us at support@imearringslover.com, or messaging us on our social media accounts Instagram and Facebook. Please, bear with us, we are still a tiny team at the moment, give us 48 hours, and we'll get back to you with our solution to your question.
- FAIR PRICES - The pieces which I design and create are unique. Most of them, being upcycled, have some "luxury" background, I mean, I choose pieces of great design and high quality, (mostly) natural materials, so the net cost itself is not cheap, but I try to keep prices for my unique hand made pieces as low as I can to cover production process, shipping, marketing and a small % to reinvest into the development of ImEarringsLover.com (to buy new materials for new collections and to hire more people to help us).
We hope that if our customers will love what and how we do, we'll manage to grow and to hire more people to improve our services and widen our collections, that is why we fully rely on your feedback and value every single one of you.
I hope to continue our communication in our social media, in blogs, videos and in orders 🤗 💌
On behalf of the whole ImEarringsLover Team, I wish you a stylish day and happy shopping with us.
Yours Faithfully,
Marina and ImEarringsLover Team
