I introduced Megumi Eda’s costume bridal jewelry collection to Kleinfeld Bridal Manhattan and they began carrying a
      selection of her Bridal Collection of jewelry in 2008, including a necklace seen pictured here in one of their ads.




                                                                                                                       10
I pitched Megumi's jewelry to a number of retail outlets including
Anthropologie. After introducing her to them at a trade show in 2008, they
began to carry some of her jewelry nationwide, including this necklace rom the
Omomori Collection.

   Pearls were the cover story topic for this issue of Modern Jeweler after JCK
 2008, in which TARA was featured and quoted in after JCK. "Pearls can help
  sales at the high-end as well. Although the economy has weakened sales for
 most retailers, sales have fallen less at the luxury end of the market. Demand
continues for fine pearls in large sizes, which are difficult to find. “Fine goods are
 moving well across the board,” says Sonny Sethi of Tara & Sons, New York."

Chicago Life ran a trend story on TARA 12-05-08 entitled “Wrap Around: Pamela Ditmer
McKuen Covers the Statement Necklace", including the TARA Tahitian and white South Sea
Pearl necklace with black and white diamond flower, which was previously also featured on
Bravo’s Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style and on "The Today Show's Plaza Ambush Makeover" on
NBC.

Writer Pamela Ditmer McKuen explores the popularity of the statement necklace and hi-lights
quotes from various fashion experts and designers on what they see as current “statement
pieces.” McKuen focuses on image consultant and author Eve Michaels as Michaels shares how
to incorporate these styles and what necklines work best. The majority of those quoted agree that
pearls make a statement, and about half a dozen statement pieces mentioned include pearls. The
consensus seems to be that in tough times, consumers are turning away from all-diamond pieces
and favoring semi-precious stones or gem pieces, including pearl jewelry.

“It’s not just a matter of big.” McKuen writes, “It’s about the mix and the silhouette. Silver and
gold. New and old. Layers of chains or pearls or both. A bib of seed beads, a choker of crystals, a
truly remarkable pendant, anything asymmetric.” I think this quote describes TARA's necklace
perfectly!

Portero's spectacular Chanel auction

In case you haven't heard, Portero.com -- an online luxury
auction -- has just launched its massive vintage Chanel
handbag extravaganza.

There are over 200 vintage and quilted bags up for grabs to
the highest bidder, of course. While Chanel has absolutely
nothing to do with the sale, all of the handbags have been
gathered from private collectors and authenticated. So, if you've ever been deceived by an
Ebay seller, relax. This isn't that kind of operation, darling.

All of the discontinued bags are in mint condition and so far, fetching prices as if Karl
Lagerfeld just whipped up their sketches in his atelier. For example, a navy quilted 2.55
has a current bid of $3395, which is about how much a similar bag would go for in a
Chanel store right now.

Suffice it to say, these bags don't depreciate! So your purchase will be well worth the
investment. The auction will run through June 30th.

Check out the rest of the bags, here.

A collection of musings on luxury, art and fashion.


Online Luxury Auction Site Portero To Launch Sale Of Vintage Chanel
Bags

Attention all Chanel aficionados! The luxury online auction site Portero is launching its
vintage Chanel handbag sale tomorrow (Thursday), June 19. The auction goes live in the
morning local New York City time (European and Asian readers, please synchronize
your watches accordingly). Bidding will close June 30th. A special pre-auction viewing
of the more than 100 highly desirable vintage Chanel bags will be held tonight at the
Antony Todd showroom in New York City for a select few of Manhattan's most avid
followers of fashion.

For those of you unfamiliar with the online auctioneer, you'll be happy to know that they
have much more in common with Christie's or Sotheby's than with eBay. Unlike eBay,
Portero provides consumers with objective condition assessments of the goods, market
value estimates and most importantly, they work with a team of experts whose job it is to
authenticate each item submitted for auction. In fact, they unconditionally guarantee that
every item they sell is 100% authentic. In this way, bidders can be sure they are not
unwittingly purchasing a counterfeit luxury item. As with any auction, don't succumb to
bidder's fever and make sure you register before placing your bid. For more information,
please refer to Portero's website. Good luck!

Sincerely,

The Luxe Chronicles

Cash Is the New Black
Hard times mean the rich are selling a few Cartiers.
by Jessica RamirezOctober 24, 2008

There's very little that can come between Melanie Fascitelli and designer labels
like Missoni and Jimmy Choo. The successful 32-year-old New Yorker—like
many of the ultrawealthy clients she assists through her custom-closet and stylist
firm—doesn't mind spending $3,200 on a Gucci bag or $6,800 on a Cartier
watch. But just as the current financial chaos has crippled the U.S. and world
markets, it's also made even the most extravagant of consumers more cash-
conscious. People who once collected Dior the way art dealers collect Degas are
now selling off valuable pieces through high-end consignment stores and online
sites. "It's a way to get some money out of it," says Fascitelli, an avid consigner
who encourages her clients to do the same.

In recent months, the high-end resale sector has been flooded with luxury items,
thanks to the uncertain economy. According to a member survey by the National
Association of Resale & Thrift Shops (NARTS), 75 percent of stores have
reported an increase in new suppliers and 66 percent had an average increase in
sales of 35 percent when comparing the first eight months of this year with the
same period in 2007. "Even people whose shopping habits aren't really affected
by what's going on look in their closet and think, 'Do I need 10 pairs of designer
shoes that look similar?' " says Adele Meyer, executive director of NARTS.

Part of the uptick does come from mass collectors who, in dicey times, have
opted for cash over, say, owning three Hermès Birkin bags. For others,
consignment has simply become a way to justify new trinkets. "It's like, 'If I get rid
of this item, then I don't feel bad about buying that one'," says Fascitelli, who
recently bought herself a $1,200 Pucci dress with the money she got from pieces
she consigned at Designer Resale, a shop in New York City that's doing 20
percent more in sales over last year.

Consignment policies tend to vary among stores and online sites, but most will
take items they like and then divvy up profits with the seller, who can get as
much as 70 percent of a sale. On the buying end, consumers are paying less
than 50 percent of the retail cost for many items. Alice Reid, a 56-year-old
salesperson from suburban New York, recently bought a Cartier watch for $9,135
from Portero.com, a luxury-goods consignment Web site. The timepiece's retail


                                                                                    66
price: $23,000. "It's so much more advantageous than going into a retail
boutique," Reid says. "When you consider the caliber of what you're getting, it's a
no-brainer." The luxury-resale boon may be expanding into other areas like
vintage wines and upscale furniture as well. Melanie Dunaway, owner of a high-
end furniture consignment shop in Millersville, Md., says her sales are up 50
percent since January.

The unloading of luxury goods and the increased number of bargain hunters has
created good times for the resale sector. Profits have leaped, with some shops
saying their sales have doubled and tripled. At the Daisy Shop on Oak Street in
Chicago, sales have increased 22 percent over this time last year. Michael
Sheldon, founder and CEO of Portero.com, says sales on his site are three
times greater than last year. "Things have improved for us remarkably since the
economic downturn, both from a seller and buyer point of view." The numbers
are especially striking given that high-end retail shops reported double-digit
declines in same-store sales last month. Among the worst hit were Bergdorf
Goodman and Neiman Marcus, which posted a 16 percent drop. Saks was down
by 11 percent. The National Retail Federation also predicts that overall retail
sales this holiday season will grow a mere 2 percent, the weakest pace in six
years.

None of this paints a pretty picture for the worldwide luxury market, which
conventional wisdom suggested was recession-proof. It's true that the $270
billion segment is still expected to grow about 2 percent this year once exchange
rates are factored in, according to Bain & Co. But that's not nearly as good as the
6.5 percent growth in 2007. "Few luxury brands are going to weather this global
economic crisis with impunity," says Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing,
a firm that specializes in affluent consumer insights. In a new Unity survey, half
the respondents said they are spending less on luxury items now compared to a
year ago. About 55 percent also expect to spend less in the next 12 months. To
Danziger, that marks a shift in consumer behavior among the wealthy. Options
like consigning, which may have seemed foreign in the past, may now become a
part of cutting their expenditures. Fascitelli, whose own business falls into the
luxury category, believes the luxury market will bounce back, but shares
Danziger's view that the consumer will be different. "There will be a smarter
consumer, and maybe not as many mass collectors. This smarter consumer will
consign items." So even when the global economy stabilizes, there's a good
chance the rich will learn to muddle through with a little less bling if it means a
few more dollars in their pockets.

Invitation I designed in Photoshop for one of Clodagh's monthly summer showroom events.
This was part of a series. I used one of her rug designs and Clodagh Collection antiques as
                          inspiration for the theme of the invitation.




 I coordinated this photo shoot and designed this invitation for another one of Clodagh's
 monthly summer showroom events with Leo Scarff Lighting and Clodagh's new rugs for
  Tufenkian. I also organized Irish sponsors for the event in-keeping with Clodagh's Irish
                            heritage as a theme for the event.

  • 44. Chicago Life ran a trend story on TARA 12-05-08 entitled “Wrap Around: Pamela Ditmer McKuen Covers the Statement Necklace", including the TARA Tahitian and white South Sea Pearl necklace with black and white diamond flower, which was previously also featured on Bravo’s Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style and on "The Today Show's Plaza Ambush Makeover" on NBC. Writer Pamela Ditmer McKuen explores the popularity of the statement necklace and hi-lights quotes from various fashion experts and designers on what they see as current “statement pieces.” McKuen focuses on image consultant and author Eve Michaels as Michaels shares how to incorporate these styles and what necklines work best. The majority of those quoted agree that pearls make a statement, and about half a dozen statement pieces mentioned include pearls. The consensus seems to be that in tough times, consumers are turning away from all-diamond pieces and favoring semi-precious stones or gem pieces, including pearl jewelry. “It’s not just a matter of big.” McKuen writes, “It’s about the mix and the silhouette. Silver and gold. New and old. Layers of chains or pearls or both. A bib of seed beads, a choker of crystals, a truly remarkable pendant, anything asymmetric.” I think this quote describes TARA's necklace perfectly! Chicago Life is distributed to NY Times subscribers in the greater Chicago area and is edited for contemporary Chicagoans concerned about issues and events shaping their lives. Features include travel, health and fitness, finance, dining, beauty, sports, trends, the arts and book reviews. http://www.chicagolife.net/content/style/Wrap_Around 44

  • 59. Portero's spectacular Chanel auction by Tiffany Neal (Subscribe to Tiffany Neal's posts), Posted Jun 27th 2008 at 5:56PM This is a post Filed under: Accessories, Fashion EmailMore In case you haven't heard, Portero.com -- an online luxury auction -- has just launched its massive vintage Chanel handbag extravaganza. There are over 200 vintage and quilted bags up for grabs to the highest bidder, of course. While Chanel has absolutely nothing to do with the sale, all of the handbags have been gathered from private collectors and authenticated. So, if you've ever been deceived by an Ebay seller, relax. This isn't that kind of operation, darling. Chanel Portero Auction (click thumbnails to view gallery) • All of the discontinued bags are in mint condition and so far, fetching prices as if Karl Lagerfeld just whipped up their sketches in his atelier. For example, a navy quilted 2.55 has a current bid of $3395, which is about how much a similar bag would go for in a Chanel store right now. Suffice it to say, these bags don't depreciate! So your purchase will be well worth the investment. The auction will run through June 30th. Check out the rest of the bags, here. http://www.stylelist.com/2008/06/27/porteros-spectacular-chanel-auction/ 59

  • 62. The Luxe Chronicles A collection of musings on luxury, art and fashion. Online Luxury Auction Site Portero To Launch Sale Of Vintage Chanel Bags Attention all Chanel aficionados! The luxury online auction site Portero is launching its vintage Chanel handbag sale tomorrow (Thursday), June 19. The auction goes live in the morning local New York City time (European and Asian readers, please synchronize your watches accordingly). Bidding will close June 30th. A special pre-auction viewing of the more than 100 highly desirable vintage Chanel bags will be held tonight at the Antony Todd showroom in New York City for a select few of Manhattan's most avid followers of fashion. For those of you unfamiliar with the online auctioneer, you'll be happy to know that they have much more in common with Christie's or Sotheby's than with eBay. Unlike eBay, Portero provides consumers with objective condition assessments of the goods, market value estimates and most importantly, they work with a team of experts whose job it is to authenticate each item submitted for auction. In fact, they unconditionally guarantee that every item they sell is 100% authentic. In this way, bidders can be sure they are not unwittingly purchasing a counterfeit luxury item. As with any auction, don't succumb to bidder's fever and make sure you register before placing your bid. For more information, please refer to Portero's website. Good luck! Sincerely, The Luxe Chronicles "One day, my handbags will be collected like art and sold at auction (...)". http://www.theluxechronicles.com/the_luxe_chronicles/2008/06/attention-all-c.html 62

  • 66. Cash Is the New Black Hard times mean the rich are selling a few Cartiers. by Jessica RamirezOctober 24, 2008 There's very little that can come between Melanie Fascitelli and designer labels like Missoni and Jimmy Choo. The successful 32-year-old New Yorker—like many of the ultrawealthy clients she assists through her custom-closet and stylist firm—doesn't mind spending $3,200 on a Gucci bag or $6,800 on a Cartier watch. But just as the current financial chaos has crippled the U.S. and world markets, it's also made even the most extravagant of consumers more cash- conscious. People who once collected Dior the way art dealers collect Degas are now selling off valuable pieces through high-end consignment stores and online sites. "It's a way to get some money out of it," says Fascitelli, an avid consigner who encourages her clients to do the same. In recent months, the high-end resale sector has been flooded with luxury items, thanks to the uncertain economy. According to a member survey by the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops (NARTS), 75 percent of stores have reported an increase in new suppliers and 66 percent had an average increase in sales of 35 percent when comparing the first eight months of this year with the same period in 2007. "Even people whose shopping habits aren't really affected by what's going on look in their closet and think, 'Do I need 10 pairs of designer shoes that look similar?' " says Adele Meyer, executive director of NARTS. Part of the uptick does come from mass collectors who, in dicey times, have opted for cash over, say, owning three Hermès Birkin bags. For others, consignment has simply become a way to justify new trinkets. "It's like, 'If I get rid of this item, then I don't feel bad about buying that one'," says Fascitelli, who recently bought herself a $1,200 Pucci dress with the money she got from pieces she consigned at Designer Resale, a shop in New York City that's doing 20 percent more in sales over last year. Consignment policies tend to vary among stores and online sites, but most will take items they like and then divvy up profits with the seller, who can get as much as 70 percent of a sale. On the buying end, consumers are paying less than 50 percent of the retail cost for many items. Alice Reid, a 56-year-old salesperson from suburban New York, recently bought a Cartier watch for $9,135 from Portero.com, a luxury-goods consignment Web site. The timepiece's retail 66
  • 67. price: $23,000. "It's so much more advantageous than going into a retail boutique," Reid says. "When you consider the caliber of what you're getting, it's a no-brainer." The luxury-resale boon may be expanding into other areas like vintage wines and upscale furniture as well. Melanie Dunaway, owner of a high- end furniture consignment shop in Millersville, Md., says her sales are up 50 percent since January. The unloading of luxury goods and the increased number of bargain hunters has created good times for the resale sector. Profits have leaped, with some shops saying their sales have doubled and tripled. At the Daisy Shop on Oak Street in Chicago, sales have increased 22 percent over this time last year. Michael Sheldon, founder and CEO of Portero.com, says sales on his site are three times greater than last year. "Things have improved for us remarkably since the economic downturn, both from a seller and buyer point of view." The numbers are especially striking given that high-end retail shops reported double-digit declines in same-store sales last month. Among the worst hit were Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, which posted a 16 percent drop. Saks was down by 11 percent. The National Retail Federation also predicts that overall retail sales this holiday season will grow a mere 2 percent, the weakest pace in six years. None of this paints a pretty picture for the worldwide luxury market, which conventional wisdom suggested was recession-proof. It's true that the $270 billion segment is still expected to grow about 2 percent this year once exchange rates are factored in, according to Bain & Co. But that's not nearly as good as the 6.5 percent growth in 2007. "Few luxury brands are going to weather this global economic crisis with impunity," says Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing, a firm that specializes in affluent consumer insights. In a new Unity survey, half the respondents said they are spending less on luxury items now compared to a year ago. About 55 percent also expect to spend less in the next 12 months. To Danziger, that marks a shift in consumer behavior among the wealthy. Options like consigning, which may have seemed foreign in the past, may now become a part of cutting their expenditures. Fascitelli, whose own business falls into the luxury category, believes the luxury market will bounce back, but shares Danziger's view that the consumer will be different. "There will be a smarter consumer, and maybe not as many mass collectors. This smarter consumer will consign items." So even when the global economy stabilizes, there's a good chance the rich will learn to muddle through with a little less bling if it means a few more dollars in their pockets. http://www.newsweek.com/2008/10/23/cash-is-the-new-black.html 67
