This is driving me nuts. I had a colleague who was a fan of a particular brand. She had an earring and necklace set in silver with black inlay of their logo. I believe she also had a wallet. The logo is a simple shape, either like a cross, or a T, or something similar, but I remember rounded parts to it as well. It’s a striking but simple logo. I _think_ they may be primarily a leather brand, although they also sell jewelry. They may or may not be Latin American. It’s definitely not one of the big well-known luxury brands. Any ideas? ---

Not Swiss Army, not Givenchy. It’s high end, but not something I had heard of before. ---

Nope, nope and nope. And it’s not Tory Burch or Kate Spade. Maybe more like a club or fleur de lis (maybe upside down?) than a cross? I do recall it being rounded. ---

No, it’s a little more obscure than these suggestions. I am a relatively urbane person, and had not heard of them until I looked them up. Sorry I don’t have more to go off of! ---

Hmnm, no. I seem to recall it starting with a T or F, but that could be a false memory. It may also be Mexican. I’m thinking its a brand sold in its own small boutique. At least, I’ve never seen it in retail stores. ---

You look like you’ve found it, but from the description I was going to suggest [Heidi Klum/Mouawad](http://luxurylaunches.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/I-13391.jpg) or [Van Cleef](http://images.betteridge.com/images/products/standard/van-cleef-arpels-vintage-alhambra-pendant-onyx-yellow-gold.jpg)(Van Cleef sued Heidi Klum/Mouawad for copying the clover design and they folded).
