……………………My trips with Jac to the Caribbean were always a source of inspiration……..We were at the Jumby Bay Resort on the small island of Jumby Bay. It is a short boat ride from Antigua. We were one of the first guests to go to this brand new resort. It was then owned by Mariuccia Mandelli and her husband Aldo Pinto. Mariuccia was the designer for the Italian company she and her husband owned called KRIZIA. Jac worked for them for many years and always said they were wonderful generous people……We thought we would try something new and booked a stay at the hotel. It was a beautiful place as we were sure it would be if Mariuccia had anything to do with it, and she did!!! It was paradise…..When we got to our beautiful villa we noticed ear plugs on each bedside table???? We soon came to find out the the island was in the direct path of the planes taking off from the Antigua airport! Paradise had some kinks!……….The dresses above were made out of a beautiful and fine quality of cotton knit jersey from Italy. They were detailed with large cotton fish net……This is where it all began…..where the FISH and PALM FROND necklaces were conceived!
These are terrific!
