Amanjunkie t-shirts

I seem to remember that it was Amanpuri that had the first Amanjunkie t-shirts.

It could be that the idea came from Raymond Bickson, who at the time, was GM of The Mark - a Georg Rafael hotel. That hotel had black t-shirts for regular guests. I can't remember what the wording was - something pithy. I guess I should have kept one.

Rafael Hotels marketed Amanresorts in the early days. In fact, it was almost as if Aman was part of Rafael - not surprising as Adrian and Georg were both ex Regent International and these were their first hotel forays after leaving Regent.

The second Amanjunkie t-shirt was, I think, at Amankila - cream on cream, so very subtle. I don't recall Amandari having one in the early days. It was the sort of decision that Adrian left up to individual GMs, as with most things.
