“I’m crazy about Tiffany’s”

Holly Golightly famously said, when asked about why she loved Tiffany’s store windows. I think we can share this feeling.

When Holly Golightly stood in front of one of Tiffany & Co.’s store windows in the movie, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, dressed in her Givenchy designed gown, tucking into a croissant, she felt mesmerized by the glitter of diamonds. The croissant felt so French, the cup of coffee in her other hand so American. It was just the perfect match.

Maybe soon, we will all feel more French than American when we stand in front of a Tiffany’s store window. Tiffany & Co. may become a French company for a breathtaking sum of $14.5 Billion Dollars.

This number is as dazzling as some of the diamond rings sold at Tiffany & Co.

On Tuesday October 29th, 2019 major news agencies reported, that French company LVMH offered to buy Jewelry, Home and Accessories retailer Tiffany & Co. for $120.00/share. The bid is an eye watering $14.5 Billion Dollars.

So far Tiffany’s, the company founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany, has not accepted the bid by the French suitor.

Maybe it is a question of time. Maybe, the bid will have to be a little sweeter, closer to $17 Billion Dollars.

We are kept in suspense for a while longer. I think it adds more excitement. I feel confident the day will come, when Tiffany’s will say “Oui” to LVMH. I imagine this will be a brilliant union.

In the spirit of Holly Golightly, we will continue to love Tiffany & Co. no matter, if the man at the door will greet us with a friendly “Bonjour Madame” or with a “Welcome to Tiffany’s Miss” …

It is comforting to know, that a solitaire engagement ring, designed with a Tiffany signature high 6-prong setting, mounted on a Tiffany knife-edge style band, will still be waiting for us in the legendary show rooms, when it is our time to say

“Oui”.
