Mariebelle New York Celebrates Autumn with Sweet Event

Mariebelle New York celebrated the autumn season in a very sweet way.

This month, nearly a hundred guests came out to toast the fall and delight in some of the very best offerings of chocolates in New York City.

The elegant celebration at Mariebelle New York’s flagship SoHo hosted a night where attendees savored the launch of the Fall Chocolate Collection.  Inspired by the rich colors, scents, and sensations of the season, each delectable taste was a burst of beautiful sensations to match the vibrant and boldly colorful autumn.

“Chocolate has always been about storytelling,” noted founder Maribel Lieberman. “Our fall collection celebrates craftsmanship, heritage, and the timeless joy of sharing something beautiful with others.”

Notable attendees included Carmen D’Alessio, Tina Radizwil, Leesa Rowland, and Irene Sichel.

Set against the backdrop of the brand’s signature blue-and-gold salon, the evening captured the artistry and refinement that have made Mariebelle synonymous with luxury chocolate for over two decades. Guests sampled chocolates and had the chance to catch up while savoring each piece, hand-made with the brand’s distinctive designs.

From the aroma of freshly poured hot chocolate to the music playing through the cocoa-scented air, the soirée embodied the warmth and sophistication of fall in New York. Attendees from the worlds of art, design, and fashion gathered to toast the new collection and enjoy conversation over cups of Mariebelle’s signature Aztec Hot Chocolate and decadent petits fours.

Lieberman was born and raised near the cacao fields of Honduras, and, as a young girl, she made and sold sweets to the local community. She emigrated to the U.S. and studied at The Parsons School of Design, where she developed her innate sensibility for luxury goods, fine food, and elegant fashion. She launched her entrepreneurial career in the 1990s with Maribel Gourmet Cuisine, a catering enterprise serving high-profile clients, U.S. Diplomats, and the U.S. President. In October 2000, Maribel opened the doors of her first retail shop, Lunettes Et Chocolat. This was an eclectic boutique offering designer eyewear and handmade chocolates.
