Small details often make all the difference

Sometimes you choose an item of clothing.

Accessories, on the other hand, are often chosen at the last minute. This is generally a good sign.

• The cap you grab on your way out.A cotton capoften ends up near the front door. It knows the way by itself. Sunglasses, however, are sometimes much less punctual.
• The scarf that travels as much as you do.A cotton scarfor bandanagladly change their program throughout the day. Around the neck in the morning, attached to a bag in the afternoon, sometimes tied in the hair before returning. They seem to enjoy change.
• The mystery of socks.Cotton socksare very useful, but always have a complicated relationship with the washing machine. Two always go in. Sometimes only one comes out. We've asked around. No one has found an explanation yet.
• The memories we wear.Pins and badgeslike embroidered patchesrarely want to stay in a drawer. They go from a jacket to a bag, from a bag to a cap, then come back a few months later. They clearly have their own itinerary.

Accessories you keep without thinking

There are objects you use every day.

And then there are those whose absence you only notice the morning they are no longer in their place.
