MLE was founded by Emily Antonian Li Mandri ( MLE ) in 2018 on the principles of high-quality materials , unique details , and memorable experiences . Li Mandri spent over 10 years in fashion and digital marketing with a focus on innovative design and emerging brand growth and decided it was time to launch her eponymous label , an accessories line based in New York . She now incorporates the firsthand experience she gained in both industries into MLE , with a focus on sustainability and quality .
Li Mandri is a third-generation designer in an Italian and Armenian family of tailors , seamstresses , and fine jewelers . Growing up , Li Mandri learned her craft by closely watching her relatives work in their studios . Her first collaboration was designing her high school prom dress with her maternal grandmother .
