Hend Sabry Launches Clothing Line "Second Chance"

Tunisian actress, Hend Sabry launched her first fashion brand, "Second Chance". The label was established in the UAE with the collaboration of fashion designer Rym Turki. 

Sabry teased the brand last January, saying: "I’ve been granted so many second chances in my life that I’m so grateful for. I’m working on something that's so close to my heart and I can’t wait to share it with you on the 22nd of January. In the meantime, go follow @secondchanceonline,"

The 43-year-old star took to Instagram to celebrate the launch of her fashion line.

"When @rym.tu and I first thought about #SecondChance, we wanted to empower women in the Arab World by bringing them fashion that is made for ladies with strong personalities who want to flaunt their colors, own their identity and culture, are unapologetically themselves, and are effortlessly elegant and want to feel good in their own skin without bothering with extra bling, and that's how the label was born," Sabry said in a statement on Monday. 

The Tunisian actress used the name Second Chance for her project in season one of Netflix's series “Finding Ola”.
