Swag of the Week

For the soft-launch invitation to their luxurious new bar, opening (early, I might add: so take note foul and ever-delaying venue renovators, it is possible) tonight, the lovely folks at Orchid sent us, yes you guessed it, this absolutely gorgeous orchid.

Okay, hardly the most lateral idea, but when one’s used to printed cards, rosettes or maybe the odd bottle at a push, we’ll admit that even as a gesture it got us. Whether or not the bar is any good (and I shall report back imminently), such a beautiful invitation already has us at least initially on their side.
