WE TALKED TO THE MAN REINVENTING THE TRADITIONAL TARBOOSH - By Mariam Nabbout -

When Elias El Haddad moved back to Lebanon from France in early 2015, the young entrepreneur had already decided that he was going to bring the tarboosh back to the country and the region. 

The tarboosh, a traditional tasseled hat, was famous in Lebanon and in countries across the Middle East and North Africa before the 60s. Previously worn by kings, politicians and other high profile figures, it slowly faded away after changes shook up the region in the post colonial era.
