An interesting walk…

We were due to be in South Africa at the moment, but the flights were cancelled due to COVID-19. For the same reason, we are avoiding travel to see family elsewhere in Sweden. And not using public transport unless necessary. So here are some photographs from yesterday’s walk…

Spelling is not their strong suit

I was not sure whether to be insulted at the colour or not, particularly as they were marketed to women rather than people who like pink. Plus they were more expensive than the regular black ones!

We spent a rather long time browsing Stockholm’s Sway Gallery. I have been to Sway Gallery in London and there is also one in Paris. It is a family business, and the Stockholm branch was started by the son of the family, who came to Sweden to study. The online shop is pretty comprehensive as well.

The Japanese aesthetic always melds nicely with Scandi minimalism-with-purpose. I think that is why Muji and Uniqlo are so popular in Sweden.

Sway Gallery Stockholm has the most amazing utility pouches in several sizes and colours which would work fantastically for chargers, pens, journals, makeup etc. They also sell traveler’s notebooks, Midori notebooks, clips, brass accessories and covers, and several items sold on the Hobonichi site such as Carry-Tite pouches and clip rulers.
