Bits and Pieces

June 30, 2026

We asked you to tune in this week as we try to share the excitement of BU2026 from New Orleans! While waiting for the ballroom doors to open on Sunday morning, we were treated to a live jazz band and a few members of one of the secretive, indigenous tribes of African Americans dressed in their intricate feathered and beaded suits. Their street performances and vibrant call-and-response chants have influenced countless modern music styles, including hip-hop and rap. Once the doors opened, BERNINA did not disappoint as they introduced us to new launches, special editions, and new accessories!
