Sourcing Index
Before my first buying trip to Paris, I took a leap of faith and emailed my icon, Robert Stilin, for his sourcing secrets. At a time when trade resources were aggressively gatekept, he warmly sent his personal database right over—proving that shared knowledge is a designer's true currency. Paying that generosity forward, this index acts as an unadorned directory of the makers, creators, and hidden storefronts I use across my favorite destinations. No fluff—just names, locations, and direct specifications.
