To Be Honest,
November 17th; Saint-Louis and FedCo hosted a colourful cocktail to celebrate the inauguration of the refined boutique dedicated to the Saint-Louis crystal, in the heart of Dowtown Beirut.
For this special occasion, more than 400 guests were invited to visit the brand-new space, and enjoyed three animations:
Floral arrangements : Where the guests had to choose flowers and create their own bouquet or arrangement.
Floral arrangements : Where the guests had to choose flowers and create their own bouquet or arrangement.
Gold decoration : Where Saint-Louis' very own artist, the one that does the hand painted decoration on the crystals, was there to explain to us how it all happens, and even allowing us to get to try to draw on crystal.
Cocktail bar : Where Saint-Louis crystal cups and glasses of different shapes, sizes and colours were placed on a stand, for guests to pick one of their choice and go to the bar next to it for a drink.
Saint-Louis crystal belongs to the Hermès group, and vibrates with the immense talent inherited from history, since it's origin in 1586; being the oldest crystal company in the world. Every day, master glassblowers and cutters, considered to be among the very best in France, create crystal pieces that highlight expertise enriched from generation to generation: crystal is mouth-blown, hand-cut, hand-engraved and hand-decorated using 24-carat gold or platinum.
A bold, precise cut, strong, euphoric colours, extremely refined designs and materials: this is the clear identity that Saint-Louis perpetuates in its crystal collections. The Manufacturer is thrilled to announce its collaboration with the expert retailer Fedco.
Founded in 2005, Fedco SAL is indeed a solid established trading company, whose core business is to operate retail sales areas in Beirut-Rafik el Hariri's International airport. In addition, Fedco is the concessionaire of the Crystal Area in Beirut's Duty Free zone.
It was honestly an honour attending the opening, and getting the chance to meet the president of FedCo Mr. Fadel Ghandour & the president of Saint-Louis Mr. Jérôme De Lavergnolle, Jessy Mrad the owner of PROMAR, and many lovely bloggers.
I wore to the event, a top from the KENZOxH&M collaboration, with a black high-waisted skirt from Forever21,a black mini purse, and black suede H&M pumps. Oh and yes, I'm obviously obsessed with black. As for my makeup, I went for a simple look. I used Ginger for my lips by Kylie Cosmetics, and a bit of dark eyeshadow from the Gwen Stefani X Urban Decay collaboration palette.
Stay tuned for more!
