on the design direction 2013 the company’s founder raymond david said: ‘this year we’re excited to showcase a hand painted and distressed surface finish in the touch collection created by a new design team within the company.’

 

‘touch’ embodies women’s feminine strength, proudly standing in beauty and elegance. the softly faded floral design radiates a sense of peace and calm, while the lean tapered legs suggest graceful power such as of a horse.
