A Travelling Inventory

Ultramarine blue splashed across the exhausted leather meets the intricate edges of moss green figures. Wheels glide around a dirty white Antarctica and a handle plunged into the depths of the Arctic Ocean. Little red dots attempt to pinpoint where the traveller has visited. Ink smeared with water damage and faint lines show where ink has gone for a run across America, Australia, Brazil, Barcelona, Berlin, Chile, Canada, China .....

The bulky rectangular shaped bag with rounded corners hold her life. Used for transporting clothes and other possessions during trips. It opens using hinges like a door, a mobile wardrobe. Visiting every continent as a fashion writer naturally results in an interesting ensemble of clothes.

The most expensive fur in the world, only grown in Barguzin Nature Reserve in Siberia lies at the bottom of her suitcase. It's rare silky texture with shades of beige, brown, gold, silver and black line the bag and creates a warm, comfortable bed for the rest of her attire.

The tantalising aroma, supple texture and unique grain characteristics of her luxurious leather aviator jacket found in Florence, Italy is spread out on top of the warm fur. The jacket too precious to fold, the seams and linings evidence of perfect craftsmanship.

31 Rue Cambon, Paris. The address of the boutique where she found her little black dress that lounges across the left side of her encasement. Long and elegant, the slender dress flatters her figure as intended by the late couturier Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel.

Little handmade brogues from Ireland, Levi jeans unearthed in a garage sale in Toronto, a crisp white shirt found in colourful Riberia Market in Lisbon, a silk scarf, silver bangles, a sequin cape, layers and layers of cultured creations all within a suitcase.
