Marilyn Elias, Lebanese interior architect and designer born in 1993, has spent her entire life immersed in the world of art, creation, and design. She studied Interior Architecture in Lebanon and later completed her Master’s degree in Spain, specializing in Commercial Interior Design a discipline that allowed her to explore movement, user experience, color, and spatial expression.
From a young age, Marilyn was captivated by drawing, forms, and aesthetics. She sketched endlessly, experimented with colors and patterns, and kept searching for her unique path in the design world. This year, she finally took the step she always dreamed of: launching her own brand and creating a collection that brings together everything she loves.
The inspiration behind the bag began with her own name Marilyn. The first part, Mar, means sea in Spanish, and just like the sea, her concept is rooted in movement, rhythm, femininity, and flow. She translated the fluidity of the wave into the movement of the body, designing a piece that doesn’t simply sit on you… it becomes you.
From this philosophy came the glove-inspired design of Mar Iconix a bag you don’t carry but wear. No discomfort, no wondering how to hold it. It rests naturally in your hand, merging with your posture, your elegance, and your aura. It’s not just an accessory. It’s an extension of the body. A statement of identity.
Marilyn introduced her first collection in four colors each reflecting a different personality:
1. The Noir Statement (black)
Bold, strong, and sharply defined. For the woman who leads the room with confidence.
• 2. Ocean whisper (blue)
Blue: Royal, luxurious, and mysteriously elegant inspired by the depth and calm of the sea.
• 3. Rosé Pulse(Fuchsia Red: )
A warm, expressive tone between pink and red lively, versatile, and full of charisma.
• flaming muse (Orange): Bright, daring, and irresistibly eye-catching perfect for the woman who loves to stand out.
Every bag is crafted from real leather with premium crocodile print, shaped with heart, precision, and passion. This bag is unlike anything you’ve seen deeply connected to the human body, designed to be felt, not just worn.
For Marilyn, this is only the beginning. She promises a long creative journey filled with pieces that are not just accessories, but emotional extensions of the wearer. Heels, belts, and more unique silhouettes are already on the way.
With every order and every woman who carries her creation, Marilyn’s dream grows stronger. She cannot wait to see you wearing her bags and to discover your personality through the color you choose.
This is Mar Iconix. This is movement. This is identity. This is Marilyn’s story and it’s only the start.
