He needed a total of $1,500, so he borrowed the balance from his sister Shirley. He and a business partner, which The Vintage Purse Museum believes to be Arnold Garay, started the Garay handbag company. By 1948, the Garay business partners were successful enough to take out an expensive two-page ad in Vogue magazine. Shortly after it appeared, Moskowitz and Garay discontinued their partnership.) Moskowitz started his eponymous company in 1948 or 1949, and thus began the MM brand. During Moskowitz’s nearly four-decade tenure at the helm of his company, he employed talent that went on to become their own big names, notably Judith Leiber (1921-2018), whose gem-encrusted “minaudieres” have walked many a red carpet, and Sharif El Fouly (also spelled "Elfouly," b. 1943), maker of high-end leather handbags. #Barbie #AudreyHepburn #Crystal #Cocktail #Dainty #Designer #FauxFur #VintageGlam #Chic Clutches
