THE PLACE WHERE OUR ESSENCE RESIDES
“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched; they are felt with the heart.”
– The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry –
They say you always return to the places where you were happy. Ten years ago, when we were living in Brittany and my oldest daughter was a little girl and my youngest was just a few months old, my husband and I decided to take a trip to Normandy. A land steeped in history and fresh air, where time seems to have stood still. A breathtaking region where we discovered places and people that will always remain etched in our memories. And yes… We were happy there.
That’s why we decided to return this Easter. To the exact same places we visited fifteen years ago; with the girls now “all grown up,” as a family—just as we do everything—and with the calm and serenity that come with the passing of the years.
This time, our brand—which is inextricably linked to our values, our outlook on life, and the way we present ourselves to the world—has traveled with us. We made our way to Normandy to enjoy that wonderful region and to shoot the first photos for the upcoming Fall–Winter Collection. A shoot during which we were also able to enjoy some blouses from the Petit étincelle, a French brand that exudes warmth, affection, personality, and savoir-faire from every pore. And that creates unique pieces we’ve fallen in love with.
The place where our essence lies
We chose Normandy because this region embodies the essence of our brand. That unhurried care and the connection between body and mind that we seek to capture in our shoes. That hallmark that sets us apart—something you either have or you don’t—and that we wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.
The experience has been truly enriching. We’ve enjoyed our work and worked with joy. This Holy Week, we’ve combined our passion for what it represents with a job we love and are committed to more and more each day.
None of this would be possible without all of you, who make it possible for our commitment to grow season after season. You’ve carried us along and made things so easy. I can never thank you enough for continuing to trust in me and my brand. You, like those places where time stands still, are what drives this brand; and what fills us with the desire to keep giving it our all every day.
Once again, thank you so much for everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making sure that the best of Bohemian is always yet to come.
Warm regards.
