First Impressions

The name suggests coastal ease, boat shoes, and unbuttoned linen, though roughly sixty-two percent of living holders belong to Generation Alpha. It carries the posture of a relaxed Southern heirloom that quietly took over modern suburban preschools. It arrives without a spare syllable to lose.
