This is more than a brand story; it’s a piece of my heart, shaped by a life lived between cultures, careers, and callings — all in pursuit of meaning, connection, and beauty in motion.

With roots in Germany and Lebanon, I bring together the precision, clarity and discipline of a legal mind with the warmth, intuition, and soulfulness shaped by a Mediterranean spirit. This blend is the lens through which I navigate the world - and the rhythm behind everything I do. My path has never followed a single track, but every step has been guided by one intention: to enrich lives by protecting what matters and creating what moves.

In my early career, I found purpose in structure, responsibility, and the ability to lend a voice to those in need of protection. Working in law shaped how I think and how I work - with care, integrity, and attention to detail.

It’s the part of me drawn to beauty, emotion, and the art of human connection that led me to establish a media production company in the Gulf region. Through visual storytelling, I embrace a different kind of advocacy – one rooted in emotional depth and the quiet power to touch hearts, open minds, and bring people together.

These chapters in my life are not separate - but steps in the same journey. Together, they taught me that when we bring structure and beauty into balance, we begin to create with intention - and whatever we shape becomes meaningful.

Today, I bring that same duality into my work as the founder of Bailey & Jools, brought to life in Dubai – where the spirit of my Middle Eastern heritage meets its future.

Our Splash-Safe pouches are not just travel essentials - they are reflections of the values we carry with us, reminding us to travel light, live consciously, and hold space for what brings joy, clarity, and peace.

I believe that when we align what we do with who we are, we don’t just craft products - we create value. That’s the spirit I bring into every design, every exchange, and every quiet moment of movement. Through Bailey & Jools, I invite you to journey with intention - across oceans or within yourself - and to carry what truly matters.

With love & excitement,

Maria Vargian
