I could see getting a breakfast set, but I can't decide the pattern. *sigh*
GK, one thing to bear in mind is that some of their porcelain is not really dish washer safe. e.g. I have the Mosaique au 24 platinum pieces and they are not dish washer safe at all due to the platinum coating may wear off. I believe the Art Deco is fine with dish washer. There are also other collection where the small print says "recommend to use the dish washer for xxx times". So read the small print! Other than that, they are all beautiful!

I'm on my second pair of teva tirras for summer travel-walking - they have Velcro straps across everything so they're great for swollen feel at the end of the day /long flight.

My friends made fun of my footwear but I was also able to walk 15-20 Kms per day on concrete pavement.

Alternate days I wore my camper micros - which are more comfortable than any of my Prada sport soles. A little nicer looking for urban environments than the tevas. Some friends love mephisto but I've never found them a good shape for my foot.

Ecco used to be good for walking city shoes, but now their quality is pretty bad.

Geox were ok too, but a bit clunky.

Genie, when I first read this I saw "I'm on my second pair of Teva Tiaras..." Lolol! I had you pictured wearing your travel, walking tiara (attached with Velcro straps). Something more outdoorsy and comfortable than your dressy, indoor tiara. :queen:

Thanks for the info. I could live with that with only a few pieces. China from grandmother is like that I.e. hand wash only.

I agree with you. I can live with a few piece for hand washing and not every day pieces. The ones I have from mosaique was a massive tart platter which we are using for mainly decorative purpose and a tray we are using for holding keys etc, hence no need to wash much. But for pieces you want use every day to serve food, best to get the dish washer safe ones!
 
I have a question--stunningly trivial AND off-topic, but hey, non sequitur is my middle name. The classic brown LV logo canvas: is it a neutral? Or is it best used with outfits that call for brown tones? I tend to gravitate toward black, greys and blues, and feel that the few traditional LV pieces I own just don't work--or is this fabric so classic that it reads as basically "colorless"? I trust the ladies and gents here to offer wise opinions. Thanks in advance. :flowers:
