NEW ORLEANS (press release) – This year marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a profound moment of loss for the Gulf Coast. In remembrance, the New Orleans native brand Mignon Faget is launching its Beyond Katrina design – a symbol, the brand says, that serves as both a tribute and a talisman to honor the past while looking forward to the future with grace and strength. As a business that endured the storm alongside its city, Mignon Faget reflects on two decades of recovery, strength and the unbreakable bonds formed in Katrina’s wake.
The Beyond Katrina Pendant and Beyond Katrina Pin are drawn from Mignon Faget’s Legacy Collection – melding architectural motifs, fleur-de-lis forms, and organic curves reminiscent of wrought iron and Gulf Coast flora. These elements are artistically intertwined, much like Katrina itself has become interwoven into the collective memory and identity of the community.
The identity of Mignon Faget is deeply ingrained in the resilient soul of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast community. Following the wake of Hurricane Katrina Mignon Faget has crafted commemorative designs to mark milestone years since its impact, as the business and community were directly and deeply affected. Mignon Faget continues with the release of the 20th year anniversary design that encourages collectors to remember the significance the storm had on the community, while also standing as a reminder that they have collectively moved beyond the devastation and into a new era of rebirth.
Shop these new designs now in-store or at MignonFaget.com. Available in sterling silver and 14K gold, with prices ranging from $80-$826.
