When one of our clients told us of her desire to produce very special cards to celebrate the anniversary of D-Day, we started by racking our brains to offer her a design that took into account all her wishes.
The story began with this email, received exactly 6 months before the event:
"Here is some information already:"
- 250 cards
- possibly with a personalized back that would include the place of purchase of the card – LUC-SUR-MER
- silver or gold markings, no color
- The following text must appear: 80th anniversary / D-DAY / Battle of Normandy / 1944-2024
- Delivery mid-March/early April 2024

Besides the fact that we completed the project, it was its symbolism that mattered to us.
A tribute to this decisive battle in which many Allied soldiers lost their lives so that we could regain our freedom.
The importance of memory and the power of remembrance. Tattooed in leather.
