ALEXIS BITTAR LAUNCHED HIS EPONYMOUS JEWELRY COLLECTIONS IN THE EARLY ’90S; BUT THE BROOKLYN NATIVE’S ARTISTIC FLAIR WAS EVIDENT LONG BEFORE THEN. AS A CHILD, BITTAR ACCOMPANIED HIS PARENTS TO FLEA MARKETS, WHERE THEY COLLECTED AND SOLD RARE ANTIQUES. AT THE AGE OF 10, BITTAR SHOWED THE FIRST SIGNS OF HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT BY SELLING FLOWERS FROM A HAND-PAINTED CART ACROSS THE STREET FROM HIS FAMILY’S HOME.
FUELED BY HIS PASSION FOR ANTIQUES, INCLUDING ART DECO BAKELITE AND TURN-OF-THECENTURY LALIQUE GLASS, BITTAR BEGAN DESIGNING HIS OWN LINE OF LUCITE AND SEMI-PRECIOUS JEWELRY AT AGE 22, SELLING HIS WARES ON THE STREETS OF SOHO.
