Haïti.-
“If one is from a country, if one was born there, as one would say: native-born, well, one has it in the eyes, the skin, the hands, with the hair of its trees, the flesh of its land, the bones of its stones, the blood of its rivers, its sky, its flavor, its men and its women.
It is a presence in the heart, indelible, like a woman we love: we know the source of her gaze, the fruit of her mouth, the hills of her breasts, her hands that defend and surrender, her knees without mystery, her strength and her weakness, her voice and her silence.”
Gouverneurs de la Rosée, Jacques Roumain
Liens du passé.-
Through our Heritage, we connect with Motherland, we understand and accept our roots.. then we learn to love ourselves… this is the journey of love.
Divinités Créoles, Anacaona Collections
Acceptation.-
Acceptance is our truth, it is our greatest love, it’s the forgiveness of our past, the value of our ancestors then ourselves, it’s a beautiful journey to peace and learning to love our origins, our community and our humanity. Once we’re truthful of ourselves, where ever we stand is exactly where we belong.
Nature des Tropiques.-
“I don't have any pleasure …I have a grenadine heart… No sun on my skin… I can’t go through, I spend nights stroking paper, letters from you, but paper is not the foot, I want to be here with you so much …in a sweet gently land, I was born in gray by accident… All my heart stayed there, in this country that I don't know… I have a grenadine heart…
Coeur Grenadine, Lyrics by Alain Souchon and Laurent Voulzy
From Endemic birds, Windy Tropical Leaves, Exotic Flowers, we share the beauty of our Caribbean lives, a nature we want to bring into homes to relive souvenirs, dreams and love.
Makaya, Hibiscus, Le Jacquier Collections
Son du Tambour.-
Dance & Music has been the Joy of every Caribbean. It was and has been their way of expressing freedom and Joy. The sound of the drum is epitome of Haitians, because wherever we are, only one single beat will transcend us to Motherland.
Lakay.-
“Large louvers let in slices of light and maintain the soothing shadow of a tropical story. They then open to the world and invite the cool current to gently fill the space and caress the furniture. The chairs nod and let themselves gently weave by cracking the floor while the long curtains, crossed by the air wave, dance voluptuously ... This breeze comes out of the balcony, surrounded by the green of palm trees hit by the light of a sky tinged with white clouds. The idea of an upcoming rain is pleasant because the lullaby beat played on the sheet of the roof ensures a peaceful nap. Rain, sun, air flow everything is peaceful in a gingerbread house.”
Jean-Claude jr. Louis
