Speaking of Liberty…
I mentioned finding the sweetest Liberty print skirt at a flea market earlier in the week, which prompted me to trawl the website for these lust-worthy items. I’m off to the UK later in the year, where I’ll be making a pitstop at my favourite London department store.
Top of the shopping list? Reams of fabric, of course. But this suitcase – a collaboration with Paris’ new concept store, Merci – will be hard to resist.
