And since we’re sticklers for spin-offs, we’re keep with the French theme, saying au revoir to Paris (in our very best French accent), and heading south. And there’s only one destination on our mind: the quaint town of Grasse.

As you may or may not know, our first collection of the year is inspired by Paris. Our designers have focused on the quintessential qualities that make Paris, Paris and have not left…
