LES NEREIDES LOVES ANIMALS
The cat. This complicated, versatile and proud feline. France's favourite pet, the
world wide web's ultimate influencer and a purr-fect therapist when it deigns to be.
Nothing less for the direct descendant of the Egyptian goddess Bastet, fierce protector
of the home, women and fertility. Revered and celebrated for thousands of years,
talismans bearing its effigy were already favoured gifts for loved ones. As cuddly as it is
ferocious, as nimble as it is mischievous, this collection is a tribute to the rich duality
of a furball between fluffiness and opulence.
For almost 10 years, the LNLA Foundation has donated 15% of the sale of each piece
of jewellery from this collection to shelters and charities dedicated to animal welfare.
Although, as Cocteau said, the little feline is the visible soul of a house, it is also the
most neglected. Nearly 2/3 of abandoned or abused animals that were taken into care
by the RSPCA in 2023 were cats. Today, more than ever, the protector needs to be
protected in return.
