The salon downstairs

The salon downstairs

I don't remember the words or the conversations.
But the color and the texture that belonged to each person have stayed with me.

I am the third-generation designer of my family's business — a shop that makes women's clothes to order.
Today, a childhood memory from the salon downstairs.

I often watched from a distance as my mother and grandmother suggested designs and beautiful fabrics.
Even as a child, I knew I shouldn't get in the way, so I never stayed close.

And yet, strangely, when I think back, I can clearly see each customer's color and the feel of her fabric.
For one lady, silk in a pale pink.
For another, elegant linen in sand beige.

I don't remember the words or the conversations.
But the color and the texture that belonged to each person have stayed with me.

Now, as the third-generation designer, the thing I am most confident in is this:
finding the fabric a customer most wants to meet right now.

I believe this sense for the right, beautiful fabric grew from the scenes I watched for all those years.

With those colorful memories in my heart, I will suggest a piece made only for you.
