Chacalli Winter Reception
On Thanksgiving Day, Chacalli De Decker partnered with the Ascott Ltd to host a merry reception at the elegant Cavendish Hotel for the diplomatic community to thank them for their support.

On hand (literally) was a caricaturist who sketched portraits in a matter of minutes for delighted guests which they could take home as a memento. While mingling and enjoying live jazz and classical music, diplomats and embassy staff tasted a selection from Chacalli’s Winter catalogue – perfect ‘research’ for the upcoming festive season.

The evening ended with a prize draw and for some lucky guests Christmas came early, but for everyone it was the perfect start to the Holiday season.
