THE abanjá PRIVATE COLLECTION

TANGER: LA PETITE COLLECTION PRIVE

I have designed a small 4 piece "abanjá for Las Chicas" collection for the quirky, trendy, happy Tangier concept store Las Chicas. Here is part of it in situ: hand towels and foutas in day-glow orange, yellow, and pink on white with gray. Today s smaller hand towel and a table runner is being delivered.
Las Chicas sold the first piece to a very, very good friend who had not guessed they were mine...
Pathetic PR or too much humble pie?
One last sunny day in Tangier and home tomorrow. Too bad I'll be spending most of it with a weaver at a loom in the weaver compound (called a funduk) But seeing samples coming out in front of your eyes, that's the fun part!!

au revoir.

TANGIER, MOROCCO: WHAT IS NEW?

TANGER:Y A-T-IL DU NOUVEAU?

The wonderful Berber cheese is still sold on a Palm leaf with a "belt" of braided grass around it.

The Pavlova is still beautiful and delicious at Las Chicas

But the neighbor has pulled all the stops in the curb appeal department!

au revoir.

OFF TO HUNT IN MOROCCO

JE PARS A LA CHASSE AU MAROC...

not THAT kind of hunt... I would NEVER, EVER hunt an animal!- 

No, I am headed there to possibly find/design/buy the most attractive pieces for our new line. 

We promise authenticity, sophistication, fun and comfort. That's our brief for the winter line, here at abanjá. 

And if it takes a 7:00 AM flight to find "la perle rare", so be it! 

au revoir.

Valentine's day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

il etait une faim

Have a lot of love today. 

Wait! 

let's just keep that same feeling going until next year...

au revoir.
