To my excitement, there is a showroom in Atlanta. And with the holidays coming up, there are a lot of less expensive items (hand towels and such) that would be great gifts. [note to reader: less expensive items from Leontine unfortunately still means ~$150 or so] Check out the site for yourself to see lots of beautiful items.
