125 mL T-Shirt

As mentioned our trip to Paris included shopping in Muji - another store which Tue hadn't been to before and which Lisbeth already knew quite well. The Muji we went to (in Le Marais) is actually no less than 2 stores: one with clothing, and one with their other goods. In the clothes stores Tue couldn't resist the temptation to buy a t-shirt which came in an unusual packaging: pressed into a small cube. As is hopefully visible in the picture, it was pressed so hard it kept the shape just fine after being unwrapped. In fact it took a little time to figure out how to best unfold it. Last but not least, we can tell you it was still rather crinkled after being washed the for the first time... and after being worn for half a week... and probably also being washed again...

Very cool concept. I've seen these things before and wondered exactly what they looked like when "un-cubed".

Thanks for stopping by my blog - I always appreciate comments!

As for you - is there somewhere on your blog that explains how you wound up in Switzerland? I see you were once in California - where can I read the story about your transition?

Thanks again for reading!

Erhmm, well, I guess it may not have been very explicitly stated on the blog how we wound up in Switzerland.

But the short story is that I graduated and had a job lined up here.

We did post a few things about the move back in April, e.g. http://lisbethtue.blogspot.com/2008/04/transition-thoughts.html

PS: T-shirt still is wrinkled after the second wash...
