Mike had already made plans to pursue his career in the US and start his own tailor business. 37 years later, Mike and Bart are still working together, side by side, committed to selling fine furniture to customers.Through the years, many family members have joined the business but eventually moved on to pursue different careers. Mike's eldest son, Richard aka Riccardo, has been involved in the business since he was young. In 1995, he became a shareholder/partner with Contess,a and has been committed to the business to this very day.Contessa has had a few different homes during these years. The first location was downtown on Princess Street catering to traditional, French provincial and Barocco styles. These styles featured upholstery, dining and bedroom sets with hand crafted and carved frames.In the mid 80's, Contessa moved to Notre Dame Avenue.
