Comments on: Meet Richard Lambertson and John Truex http://www.purseblog.com Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:39:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Grace Young http://www.purseblog.com/meet-lambertson-truex/#comment-259477 Grace Young Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:58:27 +0000 http://www.purseblog.com/lambertson-truex/#comment-259477 This is great news. I knew John as I was a supplier for Carlos Falchi in the late 80's and early 90s. John is so talented and professional plus wonderful to work with. So happy to see him now having his own line of collection like now it is almost 20 years later. Just a hunch to find out how he is doing from googles and found this article. John has impeccable taste and always want the best quality and details. This is great news. I knew John as I was a supplier for Carlos Falchi in the late 80’s and early 90s.

I read the rest - if Samsonite bought a controlling interest in 2007 then I have answered my own question. Let's make this clear - I have no criticism of Samsonite. AND their place in the market doesn't enhance the image of LT (more like the Kiss of Death). I buy Samsonite 'cos it's functional, hard- wearing, I check it in and I expect that I will throw it away 2 years later if the airlines do their usual 'best'. This is not the LT world. When Porsche let Audi build the first 924 (ancient history, but...) did it enhance the Porsche brand? Do I avoid fragrance companies when I find out they are owned by P&G? Good to spray on before I mow the lawn to veil the sweat - but that's it! Ah! OK! I read the rest – if Samsonite bought a controlling interest in 2007 then I have answered my own question.

However, How come they went broke - if they were 'savvy' and their wares were sought after. Funny that. I read this and I can’t say that i do not agree.

What smart, savvy- and dare I nice- nice guys. The interview is so true to real life form. John - always reacting to, almost interacting with materials and the 'physical' side of bag creation, and Richard, more ephemeral and almost spiritual about congering up the magic. Clearly the end result is great product, classy and classic, but unique with a youthful panache. I too have the pleasure of knowing both. What smart, savvy- and dare I nice- nice guys.

Excellent questions and these guys gave you a lot of information, shows your influence in the industry. One of the best designer interviews I've ever read. Pity about the spelling of J. D.

"We truly think that our customer is a leader, she doesn’t follow trends. She buys for herself, not for the girl sitting next to her, she is not there to impress. She is there to feel great about herself." I love that they say this!
