Le Lexique
art·of·liv·ing (n.m.)
Not a category, but a way of being, and perhaps the only category that matters.
·
col·lec·tions par·tic·u·lar (n.f.pl.)
An ever-changing cabinet of curiosities. Edits gathered not by trend, but by temperament, pieces and places that refuse to be hurried.
·
let·ters (n.f.pl.)
Not the weekly correspondence, but rarer still. Written from a café table in Bordeaux, a train window through the Alps, or a rainy morning in Amsterdam. They unfold like letters from an old friend, the kind you read twice before tucking away.
·
cor·res·pond·ence (n.f.)
Once a week, on a Friday, a sealed note leaves my desk. It travels quietly, to those who have chosen to receive it, and arrives with the unhurried certainty of something written by hand, even if it isn’t.
·
con·ver·sa·tions (n.f.pl.)
Where curiosity becomes dialogue. Questions first entrusted to Dear Léonce return here as replies, considered, composed, never in haste, but in the time it takes silk to crease.
·
Les Secrets
se·crets (n.m.pl.)
Not announced, not archived, and certainly not for everyone. These arrive when the moment calls, quiet missives that slip past the noise, landing only where they belong.
·
pri·vate · ed·it·ions (n.m.pl.)
The door that does not open for everyone. Once inside: seasonal wardrobes composed with precision, the details too telling for a crowd, and finds that vanish as quickly as they appear.
·
ad·dress · book (n.m.)
A private atlas of the places I return to, and the ones I almost wish I hadn’t told you about.
·
proust · ques·tion·naire (n.m.)
A small tradition that reveals more than it asks. My own answers live here, alongside the silences.
·
crois·sant (n.m.)
For when you feel like leaving a note and a crumb.
