- Flibbertigibbet, in Middle English, means “a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person.”
- Mamihlapinatapei is a Yaghan word meaning "a strong, shared glance that connects two speakers in some way that is beyond words." Yaghan is an indigenous, almost extinct language from the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
- Ramadasasasaysohung is one of the most popular mantras in kundalini yoga. Every syllable is a mantra in itself and all of them combined together are chanted as a healing prayer, for oneself as well as others.
- Sovramagnificentissimamente is an Italian word meaning "in a way that is more than magnificent by far". It is the longest Italian word and was first used by Dante Alighieri in his essay De vulgari eloquentia, about the superiority of vernacular languages over Latin.
- Synallagmatique is a legal term: a synallagmatic contract, in civil law, is a contract where both parties have obligations towards each other.

We've been blessed with great and kind press coverage. French Vogue was our first press feature (for the Boob ring of course), so heart out to them. We've also had a full page in M (Le Monde's style supplément), an amazing in-depth article in WWD, a feature in the T List and many many fabulous mentions in Stylist, Le Figaro, Cabana and Gala.
We've also struck some warm bonds in the digital world. I'm thinking of color-genius style maker @dahanadcr, creative director + Hadid sister @lanzybear and fashion empire builder @lisagachet.
In real life (wait, Insta isn't real life? I'm up for a debate), our ambassadors are just the best. The queen of them all being writer Deborah Levy, who wears her Bangla Begum jewelry everywhere (even in Vogue). Princes and princesses of the realm include film director and actress Monia Chokri (@moniachokri), curator Diana Campbell (@dhakadiana), artist Miet Warlop (@miet_warlop), and Lebanese poet Hussein Nasereddine (@photo.hussein), all of them carrying Bangla Begum into their own wide and wild worlds.
