“Inspired by Tiffany & Co and its iconic color, I invite you to reflect on your
limited existence and the importance of taking action because at any moment,
your time could run out. Aqua gives a sense of peace that, in addition to
looking very elegant, motivates you to act in the expectations that you still
have time.” -Emmanuel Meneses
