TRADITION - We are firm believers in supporting people/suppliers that 

are keeping companies in the family through both high & low times.

They have a precious savoir faire. Not always so easily done, but one supplier

we work with has been owned by the same family which is now in the

hands of its fourth generation.

The LUCKY PENNY - In all our bags you will find an Australian coin most

commonly the penny (before pre-decimal days commencing 1966) stitched inside with the kangaroo facing out. The history behind bags/purses being given

or sold with a coin in it (there are many theories with cultures

having different traditions), is so the owner will always have an abundance of

money & luck. We do it as we wish all our customers oodles of cash &

also luck, but mainly to show that it is an authentic Goodsir bag.

 

ART

 

POLTERGUEST ou L'ESPRIT DOMESTIQUE - A great exhibition by friends

Cynthia Lemesle & Jean-Philippe Roubaud held in the beautiful Villa Cameline (Maison Abandonnee) in Nice. The modern art juxtaposed beautifully

inside this astonishing derelict house

 

   

 

  

PARIS

  

 

The Palais Royal in March

 

 

Galerie Vivienne

 

PLACES - If I have a chance to do a turn around the Palais Royal I certainly try & make it when I am in Paris. The architecture, the shops & the people make

even a 15 minute visit worthwhile - I find it peaceful & inspiring.

Here you have the famous vintage shop Didier Ludot for Haute Couture & also Serge Lutens perfumes plus many other wonderful shops. In the same vicinity

there is Galerie Vivienne which has been opened to the public since 1826.

LE TRAIN BLEU - Before catching a train from the station Gare de Lyon, I suggest either lunch, a drink or just a peek at Le Train Bleu. It was built as part of the Paris 

Exhibition of 1900 in the style of Belle Epoque. It's a charming step back in time.
