Giovanni: Ginko

Ginko trees do not mess around.

When temperatures dip most deciduous trees shed leaves in phases as they seal off for winter. Ginkos let it all go in one shot. Imagine a golden carpet of leaves. 

The Giovanni* brand was known for floral motifs, with later designs compared to the work of Givenchy. It shows. Launched by the Longcraft company (founded 1878), in 1959 the original company operated until 1980 when the trademark was renewed. Then closed shop in 2002. 

Stunning attention to detail. Very fine condition or little to no signs of wear. Practically new. Very sturdy clips.

Enjoys catching people off guard and going all in. Intends to remain attached.
