Hurricane Beryl

Hurricane Beryl

As news has reached us that Hurricane Beryl has now passed through St Vincent and the Grenadines after inflicting terrible damage, we wanted to send a message of support to our friends and colleagues...We are so grateful that our little Pink House on Mustique has been spared with minimal damage inflicted and, better still, that our little team are safe and sound...
Pink House Party

Pink House Party

".....an all-Island event is a pretty big affair, however, I think it is a challenge that needs taking up, and who better to do it than the Pink House......." As good as her word, Lotty hosted a wonderful party at the Pink House yesterday....

ALL GO - BIG 50

ALL GO - BIG 50

It certainly is All Go with only a couple of days before the Big 50th celebration.  The tents are going up all the way along Britannia Bay, the rain keeps coming and going so the island is beautifully green and flowers abound, and luckily the sun shines in between.
SPLASH OF GOLD

SPLASH OF GOLD

Just 6 days to go until the big Mustique 50th celebration party.  'A Splash of Gold' is the dress code, and we have yet to finish making our costumes!
GALA GREENS

GALA GREENS

16 days to the 50th Celebration of Mustique and I'm 'Farm Girl Thursday' again. This means taking the early morning flight off-island to St. Vincent (6 minutes), and a ten minute drive up into the hills to 'Spring Valley Farm' - Paradise on Earth!  We have important work today as we are supplying the Arugula for the Gala Dinner.
COUNT DOWN!

COUNT DOWN!

Arriving back on-island is always an excitement but I wasn't expecting such a hive of activity after just 2 1/2 weeks away!  What industry there is in every direction.  This isn't any ordinary build-up to the summer high season,  there is good reason for such hustle and bustle, Mustique is celebrating 50 years of the formation of the Mustique Company! - quite a mouthful!
Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck

What an exciting moment to be present as Philippe Starck puts in the finishing touches.  The island is so quiet that only a handful of us were lucky enough to be around to pop a bottle of champagne and drink to the unofficial launch, or perhaps better described as the sneak-peak to the new Basil's Bar. (The official Launch will be at the big 50th celebration of Mustique this summer)
NEW STYLES

NEW STYLES

We started work on a new jumpsuit design which pretty quickly turned into pallazo pants and and a racer-back top!  We'll produce it in our new Lotty B silk prints and when worn together will give a jumpsuit effect
CRAFT FAIR

CRAFT FAIR

The island flocks down to the Mustique Craft Fair which takes place two to three times a year.

SZCZESNY AT WORK
