Wellness accessories, in three decisions.
Silicone picks up dust, ceramic chips, and anything stored loose in a drawer will eventually be stored badly. The accessories in this chapter are unglamorous by design: a hard case with a real lock, a cleanser that does not leave a film, cloths that do not shed.
We keep the range to four items and refuse to add more. A catalogue that sells twelve kinds of storage is a catalogue that has run out of things to say about the products themselves.
A case is a lock, not a hiding place
A three-dial lock stops a casual look. It does not stop a determined one, and no case should be treated as secure storage for anything valuable.
Cleanser is not soap
Silicone-safe cleansers are formulated to rinse without residue. Household soap leaves a film that attracts dust and, over time, dulls a matte finish.
Dry before storing
The single most common cause of a mildewed case is an object put away damp. Leave the case open overnight.
