THE STORY
MALOUF POUF
Just after graduating from Boston University Colette created the iconic 1980’s accessory, the “Malouf Pouf.” A year later, at the age of 25, she sold 100,000 units, taking over the counters of the all the top retailers in New York: Bergdorf Goodman, Barney’s NY, Bloomingdale's and Henri Bendel. Fast forward, bringing luxury to hair accessories, Colette expanded globally with a focus on Japan and China where a love of the art of hair is an integral part of the culture.

THE INSPIRATION
HERITAGE
A child of fashion, Colette was born into a Lebanese family that came to the US in the 1920's and launched a luxury loungewear brand called "Perfect Negligee". As a young girl, Colette spent weekends at her grandparents’ home where she discovered “Grama’s attic”; a room filled with couture accessories, reminiscent of a time of opulence and sublime taste. This was the seed of inspiration that she mixed with her "downtown pop-art” upbringing that led to her individual expression.
