What inspired you to make this piece? “I travel around the world and I am always hunting for unique luggage! I wanted something fun and graphic, and so I went with my signature stripe! Bold, yet classic.”

What would make this piece the perfect gift? “Guys, listen up here. Give this to your girlfriend with tickets for a romantic getaway somewhere. That would get a serious A+!”

What particular detail do you love the most on the item you made? “To produce the tumblers and shaker, we used an old manufacturing technique called “pressed glass” where the glass is molded into a diamond lattice pattern. The diamond pattern is then gilded in gold to highlight the intricacies and the texture of the pattern. I also love the high gloss lacquer finish on the tray and the brass inlayed hinges, which I think feels very French.”

What inspired you to make this piece? “I was inspired by old Hollywood glamour and loved mixing materials to give it just the right amount of edge.”

What would make this piece the perfect gift? “It’s always about a bold statement for me and these are the perfect little “me” gift.”

Where do you see someone wearing this piece? “Since it is the perfect holiday dress, I can see someone turning heads in this at a fabulous cocktail party. I love the lace scallop around the top and bottom of the dress. It is a little detail that adds a lot of sophistication.”
