Label Text:Bob Bugnand was chief designer at both Robert Piguet and Jacques Heim before his own house gained membership in the Chambre Syndicale in 1960. Bugnand was known for lavish embellishment, yet for this design, he relied on an extravagant, jacquard-woven, golden floral textile and a touch of mink for maximum impact.
