Going Purse-less
Recently I’ve noticed a surge of women not taking to purses, leaving more at home, and only bringing essentials. You may think the items in my photo below are my essentials. They are not actually. Or the cigarette box and lipstick are not, haha. The box and lipstick are shipping necessities for the Motovest.
As you know I am the paranoid, neurotic, control freak type. The paranoia, it has really got to stop. But I am always thinking about a million things a day, like ways to perfect a salmon skin roll, how to finish seams (or not finish them)…but lately I realized the only way to pack these motovests for my patiently waiting customers is to insert a brand new lipstick, and an empty cigarette box. In my thank you notes, I always ask people not to get offended by the cigarette box, as it’s empty, and it’s only there to keep these compartments in shape. If I don’t insert something there, they collapse. Photos from Instagram.
Not every customer has a way to contact me again after they get the item, but with instagram there is a way to communicate if they reach out, and I’m happy to see their reaction, I end up choosing a decent color (in my eyes) for lipstick to pack these vests, and one of the girls who had bought this vest said the lipstick was ‘her’ color. A super nice coincidence.
This is genius!

What is this fantastic gray sweater you keep wearing? I’ve wanted one just like that (that neckline, that amount of slouchiness) for years!
so much ciggz!! love it, so beautiful
Awesome. Seriously. Love the vest (the zipper!!), and I love the extra care in the packing. You are my hero.
That’s brilliant! I would be happy to get the vest even with cigarettes as I am now a non-smoker (as of almost a year) but there are always opportunities to share cigarettes with other people and street people (quitting smoking is probably last on a list of life improvement for some of us) and I occasionally smoke a cigarette at sweatlodge, because Tobacco is also medicine.
So much more amazing than a cardboard blank. You are so much fun!
Where do you get the empty cigarette boxes?
a brand new lipstick? what a surprising GWP haha
Gorg.
Where do you get the empty cigg boxes? Lot’s of smoker friends?
How awesome is that
nice touch. at the end of the day its the little things that make a big difference.
which shade of lipstick is that revlon colorburst
I love that vest! I am one of the people that hate bringing purses, because Im always scared Im going to leave it somewhere. This is the perfect alternative to shoving everything in my pockets and bra
That zipper pull is fucking major. & the scale of the grained leather is just …. perfect. KUDOS!
Do you have more of that amazing vest for mere mortal disposal?
