Mesdames et messieurs!
Tiring of my indolent lifestyle and following a brief European jaunt to absorb the culture, art and - most importantly - fashions of the Continent, I have put my name to a rather fine collection of footwear for the discerning gentleman (and ladies, too).
I am working extremely hard, drafting up to three memos a day and exerting myself for minutes - even hours! - at a time in my atelier to finish this grand collection of eight styles, in numerous colours, fabrics and finishes, with a custom option too (if my workmen are up to it).
One hopes to premier it exclusively to member of the Royal Courts next weekend. I hope your breath is as bated as mine!
Veuillez agrer, Mesdames et Messieurs, l'assurance de mes sentiments distingus &c.
