À LA FRANÇAISE
Buh-Bye Liberty of London. Hello Liberty of Paris! The English do not have a monopoly on floral anything! We've created a new 100% French floral pattern, available in 13 colors, handcrafted into ties and bow ties. I'm also taking this opportunity to share with you two botanical gardens well worth a visit, one in California and one in Normandy - the choice is yours.
EXCLUSIVE PATTERN
What is Liberty à la française ? A tangle of flowers, berries, foliage and stems. A tumult of wild, climbing and intertwining plants. A vast amount of buds bursting with flowers. In short, it's the start of spring.
SUNSET-WORTHY COLORS
From bright sky blue to sunny yellow, extending to lavender blue and sage green, our Frenchie Liberty collection has all nuances of beautiful sun-kissed days. The design was printed on a heavyweight silk twill by our traditional printer near Lake Como in Italy. And, then, the artisans at our Cinabre atelier in Loir-et-Cher region carefully handcrafted the fabric into our ties and bow ties.
WRAP YOUR NECK IN SILK TWILL
Spoiler Alert: If you're one of our loyal fans who received our Seasons Greetings card, you've already had a teaser of one of our upcoming silk scraf collections featuring this same pattern. Following “Les marquises - Aller simple”, a completely different journey awaits you this time : weightlessness.
SECRETS GARDENS
Lotusland in Santa Barbara, California, USA
Nestled in the heights of the legendary city of Santa Barbara, Lotusland in Montecito is by far my favorite botanical garden. The first thing that sets it apart is that the garden is a public charity on a private estate. You can become a member (currently $125 - with some perks and discounts), but member or not, visits are by appointment only! Lotusland has to be earned, which is also part of its charm. Behind this unique collection of gardens is one of the great opera singers of the 20th century, Madame Ganna Walska, who sold all her diamond collections to indulge her botanical passions.
Le Jardin Plume in Auzouville-sur-Ry, France
Au détour d'un petit chemin, perdu dans la campagne normande, se cache ce jardin contemporain qui offre un visage différent à chaque saison. Vous pourrez facilement échanger avec Sylvie et Patrick, le couple qui l'a créé. Ils habitent sur place et proposent aussi une petite pépinière. Le jardin réouvre le 07 mai.
