Louis is one of those special people. The kind of person who knows how to touch us straight to the heart and reminds us that human beings are fundamentally good. Uncle Louis is Marilyn’s uncle, but over time he has become the “Uncle” of just about everyone who crosses his path.
He has a warmth, authenticity, sincerity, generosity, and sense of humor that make it impossible to resist him. A person of many talents, particularly when it comes to tinkering, he is Le point visible’s “handyman.” A tradesman by profession, he taught us long before sustainable fashion became popular that it was our duty to repair rather than throw away, and to reclaim rather than buy new. He is the upcycling expert, and his woodworking shop is an endless source of projects. Over the years, Louis has been there for setting up and dismantling our booths, fitting out the workshop, building our booths, visiting trade shows, delivering materials, not to mention the countless pieces of custom-designed equipment and furniture created to improve our efficiency or optimize our space.
He is present for every significant moment in the company, whether celebrating our successes or mourning the less successful moments. His optimism is the greatest balm for our anxieties, and over time we have become proud ambassadors of his famous saying: “There are no problems, only solutions!”
“Uncle” Louis is the man behind the scenes, who gives without counting the cost. He is our #1 fan and, as if he didn’t already do enough, he even commissioned his very first custom quilt, designed according to his needs, wishes, and tastes. The result is simply magnificent, and despite the number of different colors, this quilt has been one of our favorites ever since.
Even though this tribute is only a small gesture compared with all the tremendous support Louis has provided since our beginnings, we hope this demonstration of love will leave an indelible mark of our gratitude. Without even trying, “Uncle” Louis is already becoming something of a legend…
Thank you for everything, “Uncle” Louis.
