Description
Who could forget the first evening in Barcelona? The sky turns apricot behind the spires, the boulevard fills with flower stalls and street musicians, and dinner does not begin until ten. Picture a couple named Julien and Marta wandering back to their hotel past midnight, still arguing happily over whether the cathedral or the tiled lizard in the park was the most beautiful thing they had seen. They promise each other they will come back, and they keep the ticket stubs in a drawer as proof.
This slim suitcase box carries those memories home. It is painted with imagery of Barcelona’s famous landmarks, a postcard wrapped around a travel case no bigger than a matchbook. At just three quarters of an inch deep, it is ideal for a ring, a pair of earrings or a coin from the trip. It makes a charming souvenir-style gift for someone who has honeymooned on the Catalan coast, a student heading off for a semester in Spain or a friend who simply dreams of seeing the city one day. Turn it in your hand and the city seems to unfold, landmark by landmark, like a walking tour in miniature.
