Heading over to Northern Italy on Saturday and as always-I’M EXCITED!!
Traveling with Rory-my FABULOUS, long time textile industry friend, travel buddy(and friend for life!). Connecting, plotting 😉 and searching out the extraordinary with Cinzia, my Italian BFF and KEY Kefi consultant, contributor and counsel! Excited to see, taste and enjoy all that Italy offers! Mind you-I’m going to be in a one special region of the country-Lombardy, if I feel this way about a place I’ve been so many times-imagine what’s in store for those who have never been or have just scratched the surface of this magical place!
Firstly-I’ll be in Milan helping Rory at Milano Unica one of the premier Textile Shows in the world! I love this opportunity because it’s a way to dip my toe back in the water of an industry that was ‘home’ for 30 years. It keeps me on top of my textile, trend, color and overall aesthetic game which is a must for the new business I’ll soon be debuting-any guesses 🤔?
Then-OFF to Lake Como which has SO MANY personalities…refined, rugged, elegant, natural, cosmopolitan. Sweeping vistas from the higher elevations, awe and wonder from the stunning towns dotting the shoreline-endless possibilities for Kefi Tours 2026 escapes!
Similar to the Textile Biz in that I’m straddling two ‘seasons”! Can’t wait for the incredible trip to MERANO June 1-8(spots still available! Book here!), and a return trip in October, and then looking ahead to 2026 with FUN in the Lake region!
Be sure to follow me @kefitours.ak to see what hijinx I get involved with next week 😉
Ciao for now-Amy
