Chantal Menhem
Founder of Bothemians
Chantal Menhem’s story is one of resilience, passion, and unwavering belief. As a young, award-winning visual artist, Chantal always had a creative spark. After completing her studies in graphic design, she realized her path wasn’t about following trends—it was about setting her own.
In 2018, she founded Bothemians, a jewelry brand inspired by her love for bohemian artistry. Each piece reflects Chantal’s artistic vision, with carefully selected designs that bring together creativity and soulful expression.
Her journey hasn’t been easy. From the challenges of building a business during the global COVID-19 pandemic to navigating the devastating economic crisis in Lebanon, Chantal has faced it all. She witnessed firsthand the tragedy of the August 4th Beirut explosion, and now the ongoing 2024 war in Lebanon. Yet, through every trial, her passion and belief in her business, her country, and her vision never faltered.
For her Bothemians jewelry is more than just accessories; they are stories of strength, survival, and the celebration of uniqueness.
Through these turbulent times, Chantal’s dedication remains stronger than ever. Every piece is carefully selected not just to be beautiful but to last, a commitment to quality that mirrors her own resilience. Classy and timeless, Bothemians jewelry is a symbol of enduring strength, much like the woman who wears it.
As Chantal continues to build her brand amidst ongoing challenges, she invites you to join her in celebrating not just the beauty of jewelry, but the beauty of persistence, elegance, and the journey of becoming. Bothemians is for the woman who values her individuality and isn’t afraid to show it.
Join us in celebrating your story, your uniqueness, and the strength that shapes who you are. Together, we believe in a future where both dreams and businesses can flourish, no matter the odds.
