Abla Dziri is transforming luxury with her vision, blending elegance and boldness through three unique brands.
Abla Dziri’s journey from engineer to entrepreneur reflects a bold vision of what luxury can be: empowering, transformative and accessible to all who dare to dream. Living between Dubai and Belgium, Abla didn’t just want to build businesses, she wanted to change how the world views luxury. Today, with two thriving brands House of Black Baron and Maison Baron Noir and another one on the way, MBN Chocolaterie, she’s doing just that. But her story isn’t just about building a successful business; it’s about showing women they can indeed have it all, without compromise.
A Visionary Path, Rooted in Ambition
How everything started, “I always knew I wanted to do business and fashion so Maxime, my husband, was a soccer player with so many connections. I told him we need to use this opportunity. That’s when we started selling soccer balls then socks. He was then playing and he was selling socks to everybody he saw or knew. Sometimes he even forced people“ she laughs. “People started to post about it, even very well known players. It was actually free marketing. Customers and us included were surprised how they actually needed very high quality basics with unique branding. Nowadays brands are aiming for simpler, more minimalist logos. We wanted to do just the opposite. I saw that the problem with logos is not logos themselves but the shift towards minimalism. My husband and I are the biggest maximalists actually,” she adds with a laugh. “We saw an opportunity to make the basics great again,” she tells us, “I was then studying engineering and I am very passionate about aircrafts so we named it after “Baron Rouge” a legendary German fighter pilot from WWI but to make it less niche we changed it to “Baron Noir” which means “Black Baron”. We didn’t want to just create a brand, we wanted to create a whole universe and make it prestigious. So we added House of Black Baron”
A New Kind of Luxury: Empowerment in Every Detail
Abla’s brands are born out of a deep understanding of what it means to live a fulfilling, luxurious life on one’s own terms. House of Black Baron, a sportswear brand, stands at the intersection of performance and style. For Abla, luxury should extend beyond evening wear or formal attire, it should be integrated into everyday life, from gym wear to casual outings. The brand’s focus on comfort, durability, and style reflects Abla’s personal philosophy that luxury is not just about looking good but about feeling confident and empowered in every aspect of life.
Next came Maison Baron Noir, a clothing brand designed for women who refuse to compromise on luxury and comfort. Rooted in the city of diamonds, Antwerp, the brand’s collections offer elegant pieces that allow women to feel both sophisticated and at ease. “I believe luxury should empower women, not confine them,” Abla explains. With this in mind, Maison Baron Noir challenges the notion that high-end fashion requires discomfort.
Lastly, there’s MBN Chocolaterie, a project on the brink of launch, a luxurious Belgian chocolate brand that offers an indulgent experience like no other. For Abla, chocolate represents more than just a treat, it’s an art form, meticulously crafted to offer both elegance and pleasure. “Luxury is in the details and what better way to showcase that than with Belgian chocolate, where craftsmanship meets indulgence?” she adds.
Crafting Products with Purpose
Abla’s approach to entrepreneurship is centered around authenticity. Unlike many entrepreneurs who chase trends, Abla creates products she would want to wear or use herself. Each piece in her collection is the result of years of careful design and development. “We don’t create to fill a market gap; we create because we believe in what we’re making,” she says. Her commitment to quality and authenticity shines through every product.
Her mantra, “Audentes Fortuna Iuvat” (Fortune favors the bold), sums up her approach to life and business. Abla’s success is a testament to her willingness to take risks and challenge conventional wisdom. She believes that women should embrace boldness in all aspects of life, whether in business, relationships, or personal pursuits.
The Power of Boldness: Abla’s Message to Women
For Abla, entrepreneurship isn’t just about success, it’s about inspiring others, especially women, to chase their dreams without hesitation. She wants women to know that it’s possible to be powerful, elegant, and ambitious at the same time. “Having it all isn’t about compromising; it’s about believing in yourself and being fearless in your pursuit,” she says.
Her message resonates with women everywhere who are ready to take control of their lives. Abla’s story serves as a reminder that success doesn’t come from following a prescribed path, it comes from forging your own.
As she continues to grow her brands, Abla is also expanding her influence on social media as advised by her sister Rim, she will be using her platform to encourage and empower women worldwide. Her journey has only just begun, but we have no doubt about the impact she will have. Abla is redefining what it means to live a luxurious, bold, and fulfilling life, and she’s showing the world that women really can have it all.
