The case of the mysterious goodie bag
When our boss showed up with this particular bag we started making desperate guesses as to what it might mean - little did we know it was the contents that were going to surprise - and delight - us!
I think I speak for everyone when I say we first wondered whether it was a mnor case of the fashion apocalypse... had we somehow jumped ship overnight? For what I have understood of Italy and the fashion industry is that loyalty os the key; if you're thinking family honour and clans... well you have watched too many classic trilogies but you aren't too far off!
We resumed jauntily sipping our coffees (well this jauntiness cost me a trip to the dry-cleaners as I failed to aim at my mouth) prepared as we were to not talk about it and feign indifference (a good quality to have in most work situations) but then within less than five minutes THE bag got mentioned and it transpired it was to be the object of quite the treat... Much to my sadness there isn't a lot I can reveal but much excitement followed the announcement and so I thought I would get a little cheeky/cheekier and offer a little preview...
L'objet du délit...
