Our treasure hunt team at the entrance to the Hometex exhibition in Istanbul - jackets in hand, so it's a beautiful day, a beautiful job.
You need an ear for the music, and a lot of experience to choose successful curtains. A good eye, taste, courage, a blink of an eye when the first textile you see smiles back at you. You have to notice it.
We have to accept that saleability doesn't come with a ''lightning strike'': the feeling of love at first sight doesn't deal with practicalities, but we need that too. We cannot give up reason or emotion.
And there may be something in that certain brotherliness, because we particularly like being in Istanbul, hunting for treasure.
