Le Creuset
I was invited by Le Creuset for a special evening in the Boutique Store in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Le Creuset evening launch for their new colour Blue Riveira.
A touch of Mediterranean Elegance.
Imagine the French Riveira: the scent of the sea and sunlight streaming into your home. Bright and full of life, Blue Riviera brings you the luxury of the summer.
In this vibe I have been creating cards who the guests could take home. Like a little souvenir. At the evening it self I have been trying to draw on my watercolours, but I was to busy talking , so I was happy that I prepared a lot of cards in my studio.
