A shopping bag lifted from a table is a small departure. Its handles take the weight, the paper sides settle and the name of the House moves from a fixed wall into someone's hand. In the background, the garment rail remains ready for the next appointment.
Packaging belongs to this practical rhythm. A box provides a boundary around an object; tissue keeps surfaces apart; a card carries information that would otherwise be separated from the piece. Their appearance matters, but so does the order in which they are handled.
The photographs in this story stay with that last part of studio work. Flat planes, folded edges and restrained lettering repeat the visual language of the House at another scale. The materials wait together before the garment or shoe leaves the room.
A finished collection is encountered through a series of gestures. It is lifted, unfolded, turned around and eventually put on. Recording the bag and the box keeps those ordinary actions in the story, alongside the design studies and the photographs made after everything is in place.
