Update from Cannes

Wow, France is a busy place!  Since we've arrived we have been enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery and offending the staff at local restaurants with our delightful mix of Acadian and junior highschool french.  We did manage to sneak down to the beach and dip our feet in the water, but it was really cold!  Just like home!  Oh, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to get a taxi here!

So all week we've been smiling our faces off at the DPA Gifting Suite at the Carleton Intercontinental Hotel.  We've already had a chance to talk to a few celebs, like Romanian director Radu Mihaileanu, who is here promoting his new film "The Source".  Angelina Jolie, who will be joined by hubby Brad Pitt next week, is staying in the same hotel, and our CrissCross Sparkle Evening Clutch has been hand delivered to her.  We also had the pleasure of meeting Jason Weinberg, publicist for A-List celebrities like Madonna, Penelope Cruz, Rachel MacAdam, Hilary Swank, Demi Moore and David Caruso, to name a few.  It seems Nathalie DuBois- Sissoko, the Gifting Suite producer, had been inviting Mr. Weinberg to visit her gifting suite for years, and when he finally dropped by without an appointment, Nathalie had just stepped out.  Of course, we showed him some good ol' Cape Breton hospitality and told him to make sure he sent his clients over to see our bags!

We have been so busy meeting with the press!  So far we have talked to the German Press, France 24, The Hollywood Reporter, NRG Press, Screen Magazine London, Paris Press, Australia Press and Huffington Post from New York.  Yesterday we had a great time meeting and being interviewed by Kim Deon from ET Canada.  She was so friendly and gave us lots of positive comments about our Michique Handbags!  She said to look for us to appear on ET Canada tonight, May 13.  She also tweeted this nice pic of us together.

We are looking forward to meeting some more celebs over the next few days.  People like Adrian Brody, Michael Sheen, Rachel MacAdam, Catherine Deneuve and others have all rsvp'd that they will be visiting the DPA Gifting Suite.

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@MichiqueBags) where we will be posting pictures and video.

The Purse Ladies!
