Here is finally a travel souvenir that is both beautiful and useful. As a bonus, it’s a really nice gift idea. So, to offer or to treat yourself, what is this object to slip into the suitcase to enjoy once you get home?
Summer vacations have that unique scent of freedom, sun on the skin and soft, stretching evenings. But when it comes time to think about returning, we all look for that little extra soul to slip into our luggage to prolong the pleasure. Forget dust-catching trinkets or refrigerator magnets.
There is an object, resulting from centuries-old artisanal know-how, which stands out as the ideal companion for your return from vacation. Not only does it prolong the holiday atmosphere, but it is also a real ally for your wardrobe.
Long associated with our grandmothers’ wardrobes, this accessory has been given a facelift in recent years. We forget about synthetic fabrics or dated guipure: today, it is dressed in washed linen, organic cotton gauze or raw hemp in natural and minimalist shades like terracotta, olive green or string beige. Some even take the form of spindles beautifully woven by hand with satin ribbons, becoming real little decorative objects to hang proudly on your wardrobe rods or on your hangers.
So, what is this plant treasure that shakes up the codes of the art of living? These are simply sachets of lavender (or lavandin, its cousin with a more camphorous scent, ideal for repelling moths)! In addition to bringing a bohemian and authentic touch to your household linen, they diffuse a soothing fragrance as soon as you open your drawers and cupboards.
To optimize your market find this summer, don’t let your bags fall asleep. Every month, squeeze them firmly between your fingers. This simple gesture allows you to break the small invisible capsules of the dried flowers to release new essential oil molecules. Enough to perfume your clothes and keep the scent of Provence at home until the heart of winter!
