In 1983, Bittar got a job as a seller in a New York vintage clothing and jewelry store. Fascinated by Art Deco, René Lalique glass, Bakelite, lucite, semiprecious stones and metals, Alexis created his first jewelry collection in 1988. Luckily, Bergdorf Goodman, the fashion director at the department store, noticed him.
Subsequently, Bittar developed jewelry lines for such famous companies as Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods, Barneys New York, Burberry, Takashimaya, and more. Also, he created jewelry for the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and London Victoria and Albert.
Noteworthy, the designer opened his first boutique in New York (2004), and the same year his jewelry appeared in Estee Lauder advertising.

Over the years, Alexis Bittar products manufactured in Brooklyn, New York have been sold in more than 500 European boutiques. Alexis created jewelry specifically for the TV series “Sex and the City”. Also, his jewelry appeared on the covers of Vogue, Time Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, as well as on Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama.
He is a laureate of CFDA Award in the Designer of Accessories of the Year in 2010. According to Bittar, he tries to “breathe life” into each of his creations, that’s why it is impossible to take eyes off them.
