Orange

maximaMy home country is the Netherlands. Country of traders since the Golden Age. We are a small kingdom in Europe and since 2013 we have a new King and Queen, named Willem Alexander and Maxima. As our royal family is named after the small French village Orange -Van Oranje-  we celebrate Kings Day yearly by dressing all up in orange. A similar phenomenon you can see on international soccer events where Dutch fans could be recognized miles away: one big orange crowd. You understand how it made me feel I had nothing to wear at least one day a year having no orange Chucks.

This changed last month, buying this very beautiful pair. At least I can show up at the 2014 World Championship in Brazil. Probably I will just watch it on tv…
