Ralph Lauren - New Bond Street




Another nice job in 2008, I was being spoilt!

This one was simply to recover the existing awnings. The valances were painted in Gold leaf which is a very costly exercise but looks great for years if done correctly (Edit in 2010: I've been past recently and they look great)

We were told that the great man himself would be visiting during Wimbledon week and had to be finished 2 days earlier than anticipated. We managed it by the skin of our teeth!
