Some stories don’t start in an office.
They start with a trip, a new language, a different culture, and two young women curious enough to see the world differently.
Anna and Elena met in Beijing in 1999, while studying Chinese. Between classes, conversations and their favorite courtyard near Houhai Lake, they discovered a connection with China that would stay with them forever.
Years later, that chapter became part of the identity of The Courtyard Consulting: an international consultancy connecting fashion brands with prestigious boutiques around the world.
Forever young.
Forever curious.
Forever building bridges between fashion, culture and business.
