NEW YORK IN CEAN.
Double Espresso energy is having a New York moment. We were there for it.
New York is the city right now. The Knicks just won their first title in fifty-three years and the ticker tape is still in the streets. The skyline is showing off. The city that famously runs on a double espresso is, by all visible signs, doing everything in its power right now. So is the color.
Which is the city we have been quietly thinking about for months, because of the rooftop @jesswilliamson8 gathered recently. At least 24 hours away from Sydney, against the most brilliant summer sky, a room full of founders, head to toe in CEAN Double Espresso.
A note on how this one came together, because the backstory matters. I first met Jess in February at one of her intimate lunches in Sydney. Twelve women, a long table, every detail considered down to the salt on the radishes. I left that lunch a little quieter than I arrived, which is how I know something has landed properly. The Double Espresso colorway was set within the week. Jess and I stayed in touch.
What I did not know yet was that Jess moves at the same speed I do, which is to say: a little faster than is strictly reasonable. A few weeks later she mentioned, almost in passing, that she was building a major New York event in ten weeks and would CEAN like to be part of it. A resounding yes from me, and a deep breath from the team.
Ten weeks later, the rooftop. Boy, did she deliver.
Supporting female founders is something we do and rooms like this are how a brand makes it true. Jess is one of those rare women who can bring a room together and have every woman walk out feeling capable of anything, which is, frankly, the feeling we want every woman to have when she wears CEAN. The room was the proof. The color was the through-line.
Double Espresso is the CEAN you reach for when you want the look to do the heavy lifting. Rich. Foundational. Finished. The color that goes with everything you already own, and quietly works on your lymphatic system while it is at it. New York energy in a piece you can wear into a Tuesday meeting and a rooftop the same day without thinking about it twice.
Thank you Jess for the room, the rooftop, and the view. New York earned its week. So did Jess and our Double Espresso.
