Change is inevitable and sometimes the change brings on sadness. Today Annie informed us that all of Laurent Effel is up for sale. It is time for their family to begin a new chapter.
Laurent Effel has consistently been probably our favorite retail establishment on the island. Greeting Eric, Stephen and Annie is something we look forward to.
The new colors and styles of purses, shoes, wallets, belts and men’s clothing are a sight to behold. Being able to provide this to their customers comes with a price.
Developing and maintaining long term relationships with the factories that supply and produce Loro Piana, Gucci, Botega Veneta, Hermes and others requires constant work. Designing new styles and choosing colors without crossing the line of the various brands has been an art that few people can do.
Our forecast is no one will be able to replace the calibre of the annual offerings but other good stores will take their places.
As Maya and Randy have apparently also decided to move on, another beautiful restaurant will hopefully occupy Maya’s space.
