Love Luxury, Hate Logos?
By | June 6th, 2012
Most of my clients request non-logoed accessories. They crave simple, stylish design without the tramp stamp of a logo. I too share this philosophy. Even the little C’s on my glasses irk me a bit. When I used to wear a G belt buckle and G glasses from Gucci, I told interested parties that it […]

I especially appreciated the LACK of Starbucks and mega hotels – no towers or big resorts here. Also, French is the local language, and all the locals are French. […]
