Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Lucie Rie Copy of a letter to Christian Dior Ltd. from Lucie Rie, 5.12.1981 Carbon copy on very thin paper of typewritten letter 22.0 x 18.0cm(w) Crafts Study Centre, Farnham 2002.26.573.1 I bought enclosed parfum 5 weeks ago at Boots. It has hardly any scent. I should like to know also if Diorissimo has changed - also the Eau de Toilette - which I don’t find as nice as it used to be. via

Invoice copy: page 22 from a button order book, 21.2.1942 Carbon-copy of an invoice from a blue, marbled, hardcover, ‘Rymans’ duplicate book The wartime button-making venture at Albion Mews is represented in 20 duplicate books from the years 1941-51 containing invoice copies for orders (2002.26.547-66). Most of these orders are briefly specified by quantities and pattern names such as Toronto or Knots. However some of these carbon records include schematic sketches describing unusual orders. For example a page dated 21.2.42 with ‘Worth’ underlined at the top includes a mnemonic sketch for a buckle design . The button business grew out of the work Lucie Rie did pressing glass buttons for Bimini, a manufactory established by fellow émigré and old acquaintance Fritz Lampl. http://www.vads.ac.uk/learning/csc/rie/essay.html
