Расположенный прямо на берегу живописной лагуны Сент Барта, отель Le Sereno располагает одними из самых захватывающих видов на остров, от восхода до заката. Пальмы выравнивают мягкий песчаный пляж, который приглашает вас расслабиться в лучах солнца, расположиться в тени и читать хорошую книгу, или немного поплавать в прохладном бассейне. Это идеальный кусочек рая!

“I LOVE
Linen ”
100%Capri - The fashion and household linen brand - was generated by the talent of Tony Aiello, a brilliant young businessman who succeeded in creating a brand that has rapidly become synonymous with Italian craftsmanship. Linen, the quintessential fiber of vegetable origin, is good for the skin and cares for the body of those who wear it, enveloping them in the snowy caress of soft fabric. The use of linen is perfectly integrated in the philosophy of 100%Capri, since the attention to the environment is not a derived from a passing trend but is an authentic corporate lifestyle that sets the natural element at the core, starting from the raw material used right through to the creation of the products. And we’re not talking only about fashion creations or the household linens, but about all the little details, such as the
exclusive shopping bags and made up in pure linen. Tony’s genuine strong point is that he has managed to take this lifestyle from Capri to all over the world. In fact in 2008 he landed in Bal Harbour, with Flagship Store in the most luxurious mall in the United States, The Bal Harbour Shops and 100% Capri has stores in St. Barth, Roma, Sicily, South Africa, Beverly Hills, Firenze, Ibiza and will open this fall in Dubai. “I love linen. Linen is a timeless beauty in its purity and perfection. To me linen means eternal youth and an escape to the Mediterranean landscape of
my home in Capri. My personal pride is in our exclusive materials. We have searched the world over to deliver to you the finest fibers which are weaved and tailored by the experienced hands of our artisans. Our timeless style and design is an expression of elegance but most importantly freedom. 100% Capri is 100% Natural - It’s a pure pleasure to wear.” Thus is it is the felicitous combination of linen and the magic of the Island of Capri that gives rise to the man/woman/child collection of 100% Capri, allowing those who wear them to live in a dream.

Coins that TELL A STORY When I was a child in Ireland, there were coins in everyday circulation that were more than 100 years old. This made a big, but quiet impression on me. In how many interesting pockets and purses had those pennies spent time? Old coins made me curious. I started to look out for them and keep them. None of mine were of sufficient quality to have any commercial value. But I was happy to have them. Let’s move 5,000 miles westward and advance many years. I looked for coins and medals associated with exploration and life on St Maarten and the Caribbean, again inextricably intertwined with a burning interest in expanded local history. It seemed like the coins were proof of the things that went before. Spanish King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, married in 1469, expelled the Moors from Granada, formalized the Spanish Inquisition and discriminated against Jews and Muslims and all non-Christians. They also funded Christopher Columbus, and brought untold riches to Spain for the next few hundred years. In 1648 Dutch Commander Petrus Stuyvesant lost his leg on St Maarten trying to recapture the island from the Spanish. This did not prevent him from becoming director general of the New Netherlands (1647-1664) with headquarters in New Amsterdam (now NYC). The double tournois coin of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, 1625-47, reminds us that the Dutch House of Orange has roots in the peaceful country town of Orange, near Avignon in southeast France. Pieces of Eight— the silver coin of the pirates and the conquistadores—effectively became the first international currency, minted in the Spanish Empire including Colombia, Peru, Mexico, and Santo Domingo, from the late 15th to the early 19th century. The island of St Eustatius was, for a time, the largest trading center in the Caribbean. The Andrew Doria was the first ship of the independent US Navy to be saluted by a foreign power, the Dutch, in St Eustatius in 1776. British Admiral Lloyd Bridges Rodney, infamous in the Dutch Caribbean for demolishing St Eustatius under orders to punish the Dutch for helping the rebel cause in the American Revolution, a devil over here, a hero in England.

medal remembering John Maurits of Nassau-Seigen, Governor of the Dutch West India Company colony of New Holland (1630-1654), now northern Brazil, and the modern city that he built, Mauritstad (now Recife). He welcomed Jews and they built up the sugar cane industry and this expertise traveled to the Caribbean Islands when the Portuguese took back this land and expelled the sugar experts. In St Barth, coins recall the hundred years of Swedish rule on that small island that was eventually returned to France. Haile Selassi, King of Kings, Lion of Judah, Emperor of Ethiopia (1930-1975) an Orthodox Ethiopian Christian all his life, became a deity to Rastafarians, becoming an quintessential part of modern West Indian culture. The Anguilla Liberty Dollar (11th July 1967) commemorates the beginning of the Anguilla Revolution. Unhappy with its subordinate position in the British Colony of St Kitts, Nevis & Anguilla, authorities in Anguilla expelled Kittitian officials and declared their independence from the other two islands.

All of these artifacts have significance and they stimulate curiosity and invite investigation and help us understand how we got here. But they are also great art and beautiful to behold and to touch, created themselves by great artists. We salute the men, women and events commemorated, but we also salute the humble engravers and metal workers who made these artifacts with love and care for us to enjoy, forever.
