Dear Collector,
The fleur de lis is the symbol of New Orleans, signifying light and life. It has never been more meaningful to us. The symbol is derived from the Iris, the native wildflower of Louisiana. It is said to have bloomed from the tears of Eve as she was driven from the Garden of Eden. The Iris and Fleur de Lis designs carry special sentiment for all of us this year. We wear them as badges of honor.
I proudly share the designs on the following pages
inspired, as is all of my work, by the beauty and culture of New Orleans, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
This is our time of rebirth.
