šŖ” š Last week was special with Objet -we threw our second soirĆ©e in SF on Friday and got lucky to see some great folks share the love.
What Saumya and Colt are building is so important. Check their work out: Build IRL Newsletter #22. And especially if youāre living in SF, they always share some cool events you can join. Thatās how I knew about the new IRL Movie Club for instance and got to watch the Join or Die documentary.
I canāt agree more with Caitlin and really liked her invitation to move from volume to value: Less Volume, More Value. I also agree with her āmedium-hot takeā: āvolume-based growth lacks imaginationā.
š š Dirt also introduced their new column -Objet- in collaboration with us. Theyāve asked five writers to write about a single object that is significant to them and will be publishing these essays in the coming months. For its first: Marlowe Granados on the cathartic potential of a second-hand bag: The Bakelite Bag.
I like to think of them [old things] as talismans of the past. I donāt just put them on display but use them as they were made to be used.
Thereās also a sense that whatever it witnessed through my ownership is just a minor chapter in the bagās life. It holds my secrets but also the mysteries of those that came before me. I can only hope to pass it on as the common thread between me and generations of stylish women.
