HELLO, MARCH!
February was a busy month! After IDS13 we received some great press, and then even more great press, about our wallcoverings. We're happy to have made a splash with our newest venture!
So we've made it to March! It's the time of year when winter finally starts to ease up to spring, holidays with the family abound, and (if the snow's still good) we pack in as much end of season tobogganing as we can.
In Ancient Rome, March was the first month of the year. As wikipedia can tell you, this month is named after the Roman god, Mars, who you may know better as the Greek god of war, Ares. This month was traditionally (or rather, hellenistically) the month to start military campaigns. Similarly, in these contemporary times, many people choose March as the month to attack their homes with an annual onslaught of spring cleaning.
It's also a luxurious time of year. Well, we consider it a luxurious time of year.
As the snow melts away and the sun shines a bit longer each day, we can see the world beyond winter once more. To us, this is luxury. On a nice March day you can wear shoes... luxury! The birds fill the air with songs... luxury!
Or maybe March is still cold, and you're tired of being inside. So you decide to make it luxurious by going away for the weekend and staying in a nice hotel, or going out (window) shopping for your favourite luxury designs.
If you're into making luxury your March experience, we recommend the following:
1. Enjoying a night or two in New York.
The James Hotel in NYC is a boutique experience. It's also a great place to kick off your shoes and step down on some lovely carpet.

Our custom carpets add to the luxury of the space!
3. Shopping in Hong Kong.
Maybe you really want to get away from the hustle and bustle of your city, to enjoy the luxurious hustle and bustle of one of the world's economic capitals.
While you're there you may be interested in stepping onto some great design, so why not visit Louis Vuitton?

Original carpet designs to compliment an original design house.
So as the spring season starts, take a moment to reflect on the luxury around you, and especially the luxury under your feet.
And happy tobogganing!
