HONORING WOMEN’S CREATIVITY

Connecting Connoisseurs with Remarkable Women through the Women We Create Program

The experiential travel program “Women We Create” brings a select group of connoisseurs and bon vivants together to meet and honor exceptional women makers of all types in their homes, studios, kitchens, laboratories—wherever their work puts them—and to celebrate that work on their turf.

When we gather with these honorees, we discuss their work and contributions in a meaningful and intimate way, spending time becoming acquainted to build lasting relationships.
