Notable quotes from the press:
"This season, [The Connaught Group] has added a new line, Per Se, which gives a new dimension to the classic original line. Per Se is edgier, more fashion forward, with fine details and style to attract younger clients. The line should also appeal to the fit, young attitude of women of all ages that's so predominant here in the Vail Valley."
- Vail Daily
"While some clothes are traditional in shaping, unexpected details, like a bow-tied belt on a bright red skirt, stand out. Per Se... has more fitted, trend-conscious pieces."
- The Washingtonian.com
"For the younger client, there is the Per Se line, offering the same quality as Carlisle, but with lines that are a little more trendy and European in their cut."
- The Wellesley Townsman
"The new Per Se line offers modern, edgier styles."
