MONIQUE

Who are you?
Life-long student, creator, planner, lover, fighter and friend.

Why did you design the bag you did? Why did you select the style? Leather? 
I wanted a bag that defines me. I’m colorful and full of life, my bag represents that. The style selected reflects when the light hits it a certain way you shine brighter than most, like me.

What does your bag say about you?? 
Hello, I’m one of a kind. Nice to be in your acquaintance.

Have you always been you or did you grow into yourself? 
I’ve had to grow into myself. Learn from my mistakes, the people in my life and see life for what it is, a daily experiment to do something new and flourish toward the goals you are setting.

Was there a moment when you realized you were you?
My drive home from Kentucky on Halloween this year. I realized many things about myself, my journey, my past, and future. That moment where you say “wow” with tears of joy instead of pain.

What's a fault you enjoy about yourself?
A fault I enjoy is caring too much. It’s shows my ability to speak and touch on subjects many many people would coward away from because they don’t care enough.

When was the last time you rebelled? 
Ha. My life is based on rebellion, to a certain extent. Most recently, I stood up for a woman at my job who was trying to avoid having a conversation with a persistent, young man. The young man’s friend later saw that my comments and words were inspiring and helpful in deescalating the situation. He also realized the importance of paying attention to women, their body language and how they respond when they do not want to talk to you.

Is there a quote or motto that you live by?
Cause trouble for good reasons.

What are some things you do to celebrate you? 
Treat myself to a nice dinner. However, continuing to achieve great things is a celebration in itself.

How does Laudi Vidni help you tell your story as a unique, one-of-a-kind person? 
Laudi Vidni Is opening my eyes to the woman I’m becoming. I’m also seeing the artist, influencer, and individual being I am in the distance.

What event in life has shaped you most as a person, and how?
The birth of my sister has changed my life for the great. She save me honestly. If she was not born, I would not be on the right path. Nor would I be the same loving person I am.

What are you trying to learn?
How to grow and develop in the best possible version of myself, and it is not easy, at all. Like what so ever.

How would you describe your personal style? 
My style can be unusual; from the shoes on up. Sometimes my outfit may not look like it goes together, but it matches in one way shape or form.

What are some of your favorite leathers from our collection?
Honestly, it was hard to decide on a leather from the collection. However, the shade of the solid colors along with the patterns have individuality in itself. But once my eyes landed on the leather I chose, my breath was snatched. I kept mentioning during the design stage that the great leather options made it difficult.
