A comment is made in passing by food writer Eleanor, “I’ve enjoyed this year and learned to embrace the slowing of pace.” Slowing down. It’s an interesting concept that is often forgotten when life feels chaotic. Despite the chaos of the year that’s been, our guests begin to acknowledge the small things that are often taken for granted from walking around their local neighbourhoods to having the kids at home.
As the table is cleared and our guests start to leave, there is a feeling of gratitude for the time spent with one another and an air of excitement for each woman’s unique journey ahead. With the aim of this lunch being to delve deeper into the relationships with our artisans, there wasn’t a woman at the table who didn’t have an incredible story to tell and it was a privilege to sit with them and listen.
We’ll be telling these individual artisan stories over the coming weeks to celebrate the launch of our summer occasion collection and the inspiration these unique women bring to the Max family.
