Audrey wrote this note to Tiffany in celebration of the company’s 150 years


Dear Tiffany,

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, that is why the lustre of the art of Tiffany's remains undimmed. For 150 years your name has stood for beauty, style, quality, and constancy; you have brightened our faces with your jewelry, illuminated our homes with your lamps, brought a glow to our tables with your silver, given distinction to our lives. You certainly have to mine by inviting me to breakfast - how many can say they've had coffee and croissants at Tiffany's - a memory I shall always cherish. Happy Birthday, dear T., with love - but also with envy, for after 150 years you don't have a wrinkle - but then, class doesn't age!

Your devoted friend,
Audrey Hepburn

Although the 150th was many years ago, this is a wonderful letter that deserves to be remembered. Peachy Deegan just LOVES Tiffany's!
