Source text - English The less certain we are that we know what we once thought we knew, the more we can appreciate what we know for certain matters.
Time, we feel, is a precious asset – a non-renewable resource we cannot afford to waste.
When life is so hectic we need time for ourselves – a bit of room to breathe.
We want to feel free and to be amazed by the world around us but still to retain our connections to work and community and family.
We strive to establish meaningful relationships, and we hope to find magic wherever we can.
Taking our cue from human nature, we’ve created a trend collection that establishes a balance between our inherent curiosity to explore the world around us and our need to protect what is close to us.
It’s adventurous and caring at the same time, premised on the conviction that quality in our lives is essential to our sense of fulfillment, and that, in our quest for that fulfillment, our connections to others and our individual freedom are equally important.
VELVET HEART – Color of the Year
Velvet Heart colors extend across a range of neutrals that might, in another context, be perceived as cool or detached, but here instead they convey caring, warmth, and empathy.
The implied message reflects the human dimension of our modern technocentric life.
In this Velvet Heart range we find the slightest hints of purple conveying sentiments of coziness, personal warmth, and caring.[1]
