The First Collection

Objects from around the hôtel.

Some useful. Some unnecessary. All difficult to leave behind.

From the pool

Wet footprints, sunglasses, and an unfinished Paloma.

La Voiture de Plage · At The Jetty

The boat is ready.

The drinks are cold. Reception has the keys.

The chest comes aboard. The towels usually come back wet.

How things arrive

Wrapped at the desk, not in a warehouse.

  • Cream tissue, burgundy ribbon, and the crest.
  • A luggage label, addressed in the old way.
  • And a small card: From the desk of Réception. Thank you for taking a little of Carmella with you.

Still in the hôtel

A few other things guests keep asking about. They will follow, in their own time.

Nothing begins in the Boutique.

The cards begin after lunch. The glass begins at the bar. The towel begins beside the pool. The key is more complicated.
