Time flies in the Luxury world!
I can't believe we've reached the 60th episode of What The Luxe already!
When I started toying with the idea of this newsletter, I had no idea it will become such a fascinating project.
Each episode of the newsletter is a moment, a commitment to you to go out and find the news that will enrich your week. It is a declaration of love for the luxury market.
I wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for subscribing to my newsletter.
Thank you to the 3,200 subscribers as well as to those of you who have decided to subscribe to the premium mode.
