The salon books by the light, not the clock.
The light
The salon
The house sits in Nairobi; London and New York receive by travelling appointment, and the salon writes with its next dates.
The manner
By video, the founder opens the case on camera from the Nairobi atelier — the stones travel only when you do.
The day — week of 7 September
You are
The confirmation letter travels to
Nothing is confirmed by machine. The salon writes back within the day.
The letter, continued — ix — the last
And when you are ready — not before — come and sit in the good light, and let the room do what rooms do. I will bring the case myself.
