The high demand demonstrated at the ongoing jewelry and fashion expo in Lebanon boosts confidence in the sales prospects of the country’s designer fashion in the summer season. Over 35 Lebanese fashion and jewelry designers participated in the Jewels of Beirut Expo 2023, underway from July 5th to 8th in the Lebanese capital. Victor Azar, manager at Azar, a famous jewelry store in Beirut, said he had received great demand for his products from overseas tourists and Lebanese expatriates since the expo kicked off. “We saw good numbers of tourists from Gulf countries and Lebanese expats from Europe and the United States buying with budgets of 1,000 U.S. dollars and above,” Azar told Xinhua.
