“We are especially proud and pleased to be repeating this event.

“The enthusiasm that the 2011 event was met with convinced us that it would be worth repeating, while at the same time increasing its scale. I am sure that those of you who enter our maisons will be as impressed as I am by the talent that our artisans possess and I hope you experience the emotion we feel every time we step behind the scenes. We look forward to welcoming you once again,” added Antoine Arnault.
