Christine Abdelmalek, originally hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana is the founder and CEO of ‘Pink Papyrus’. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, she was a licensed pharmacist who worked full time. Pink Papyrus is a brand designed for animal apparel including dog leashes, Bandanas, Bags for holding wastes, Dog shirts, collars, and many more.
Christine’s creative inspiration arose when she saw a woman who was simply walking her dog. She noticed that the leash was kind of boring. She started questioning why pets should not have luxurious and pretty apparels like humans. This is how ‘Pink Papyrus’ was born.
Pink Papyrus is a very unique and fun initiative. Every pet owner who wishes for good quality, sustainable and ecofriendly products for their pets have to visit Pink Papyrus. Besides quality, the products are pretty and colourful. Christine was very patient and creative while making mix and match accessories. However, they look equally good individually as well. Pink Papyrus’s aim is to keep pet owners and their pets happy and stylish.
Even though Christine pursued pharmacy, deep down she always wanted to do something creative. She loved experimenting with colours and designs. Her husband was a vet and thus they were always surrounded by pet dogs. Thus, she decided to combine both of these to ultimately give birth to this unique brand. She credits her husband, Kiro, who was always by her side for their success as well. He listened and motivated her throughout her journey, even during unfortunate circumstances.
Initially, when Pink Papyrus started, Christine and her husband worked from the comforts of their home. Over time, they have extended their brand family which now consists of publicists, retail strategists, warehouse people, etcetera. Even when their business has reached tremendous heights of success, Christine makes sure to always stay humble and keep working hard.
On being asked about the most interesting experience throughout her journey, Christine narrated her story. PetSmart had invited the duo to Phoenix in Arizona where their headquarters was located. They had no idea if the plan would be successful or whether PetSmart would like their idea. They were even unsure about their preparation. However, on their way back, they felt surreal and knew that their life was about to change.
Their future plans include expanding and upgrading their business and collaborating with National retailers. Check out more about their stylish and unique pet apparels now
