Furthermore, the much-anticipated annual Christmas limited edition item has also arrived. From October 26, 2001, to December 30 only, a special version of the “Cruz de Estrellas” with a matte gold finish and a single diamond will be sold. This version comes with two silk cords and costs ¥69,000. As quantities are limited, it’s best to get yours early.
Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York, I have felt a significant shift in designers’ sentiments. The era of superficial designs that are extremely cool, minimalist, and chic but lack a deep emotional resonance is likely coming to an end.
