As another Christmas is upon us and the mad rush to meet the deadline to prepare for the holiday for family and friends is approaching fast and furious, Beau Satchelle wanted to take this opportunity to stop for just a moment and post a message of reflection. For us, this has been a year of transitions which involved some surprises, plenty of accomplishments and a few disappointments. We are grateful for our blessings in our first year of growth and continuing to do introspective work for our business and as individuals. Being an entrepreneur takes more commitment than one can believe possible. Possessing the ability to ignore all the distractions that can hinder your focus and surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded people are betting on your success is priceless. As we reflect on where we are as a business, the realization that our knowledge has come from many directions, I would like to touch on three areas that have impacted Beau Satchelle’s growth. Continuing Education Without a doubt, after the 2008 Recession, we saw the growth of many aspiring American entrepreneurs. And, as we all compete for consumer dollars, the ability to offer quality in products and services is important. Although we study our direct competitors in the luxury leather industry, we gain even more from other industries. We are inspired by tech companies with their visionary abilities; we admire five star hotels and resorts that leave no stone unturned to please their guests and pay homage to the selflessness organizers of the charities that we’ve partnered with who work so hard to help those less fortunate. We appreciate artists, designers and engineers of all fields who value producing quality, strive for sustainability and embrace beauty and creativity. The Internet’s Influence The emergence of the internet has allowed entrepreneurs to […]
Learning firsthand from our growing group of affluent clients, it is without a doubt that gift giving is pivoting. Purchasing an experience or creating memories is exceeding above everything else when celebrating the gift of giving with loved ones. Opening a gift box housing a rose colored diamond tennis bracelet can still make a girl squeal with delight; yet the experience of working one on one with a top jeweler in creating her own unique design makes the gift more exceptional. Or that the golfer in your family will adore you for buying him a prestigious Titlist by Scotty Cameron -Tiger Woods Stainless Masters Winner Limited Edition golf clubs but to use those clubs while playing a round on a golf course with an acclaimed golf coach will be a memory of a lifetime. Even companies who offer products are embracing the trend of creating memories around the gifting of the product. Subscription services are gaining momentum in offering a new monthly experience of receiving a different outfit, the sexiest lingerie set, or a delivered box of fresh ingredients to cook a full meal is an upward trend for sophisticated consumers. For example, the Robb Report, a luxury lifestyle magazine that introduces the best of the best in products and services to high net worth individuals is now offering a monthly membership club that delivers a monthly exclusive box of luxury which contains curated and themed products that expose unique items from boutique brands and elite artisans. One of their delivered packages contained a tape measure and swatches of Handwoven Honduran fabric to order a bespoke hat made by the master milliners of Worth & Worth in New York City. What a delightful gift for that dapper gentleman in your life! Every industry in the luxury space from cars buying, […]
Our team has been working non-stop to build an ambitious collection of treasured luxury leather goods ready for this time of the year. This blog post continues to reveal our latest products to be acquired for this holiday season. Two of the designs we are introducing in this post were inspired from receiving beautiful skins with deep colors that just spoke to our designer’s talent to create simple yet exquisite products. The first bag speaks for itself….. the color, the shape, the design. One of a kind! It had its public test drive at a couple of special events and without fail, many women swooned over this jewel. The bag is vintage inspired with a structured box look and matching handle made from a stunning gator embossed Italian lambskin in a dramatic lipstick red. Hand-cut and hand-sewn with fine black waxed thread, it was finished off with black hand dyed and burnished edges. The nickel plated hardware was selected perfectly to give more attention to this bespoke design. The interior is plush with matching red suede and a suede sleeve to hold your smartphone or smaller tablet. Executive Bridle Briefcase – Dressing down seems to be the norm at emerging companies, yet we see an uptick among men from the boardroom to celebrities who desire to embrace the well-dressed lifestyle with an array of stylish suits. Just as important, is the carefully selected accessories that range from bracelets, watches, ties, hats, lapel pins, cufflinks, pocket squares, belts, etc. needing to be in sync, subtle and elegant. To finish off that stylish look, let’s take a peek at a Beau Satchelle bespoke briefcase. Made of bridle leather in black, it was hand-cut and hand-stitched with black waxed Tigre thread and was finished off with black hand painted and burnished edges. The […]
