You may not want to put this unusually supple, almost crushable toiletry bag out of your hand and would like to wear it as a colorful accessory with your outfit. Nothing stands in the way of this, especially as the lightweight bag softly and protectively cuddles your essentials and cosmetics. Two layers of hard-wearing cotton are quilted together so that the padding cannot slip between the layers of fabric and encloses the contents on all sides like a fine airbag. With a volume of two and a half liters, the bag can easily hold a toothbrush, soap and shampoo as well as a wallet, cell phone and notebook. A sewn-on pocket inside keeps even the smallest of small items within easy reach; the top edge of the compartment is sewn in the middle so that items protruding over the edge can also be held upright here. And if you don't need the toiletry bag (or handbag) at the moment, it can be folded up small and neatly (or crumpled up) and stowed away in a cupboard or drawer to save space.

Behind the Moismont label, based in Picardy, France, are Martine and Jacques Bijvoet. Through their fashion, the couple champion authenticity and tradition. It is therefore no surprise that their scarves and stoles, garments, and bags blend French textile design with traditional Indian weaving craftsmanship. After all, the original scarf (which, as we understand it, is worn more like a stole) once made its way from the Indian subcontinent to Europe. And to this day, this scarf-making culture remains very much alive in India: yarn-dyeing, weaving, and printing techniques are passed down there from generation to generation—across three carefully distinguished trades, each of which possesses and safeguards its own unique expertise.
