How it works

Three steps. One box.

From the moment you choose a destination to the moment the box lands at your door — here's exactly what happens, and how we keep it slow on purpose.

01 / 03

Pick a destination

Choose from our ten ready-made destination editions, or type any place in the world and our curators will assemble a bespoke bundle for it. There's no minimum lead time — but four to six weeks before your trip is the sweet spot.

02 / 03

We hand-pack the box

Our team sources four items from a mix of local makers, regional producers, and established specialty brands tied to your destination — one for each of the four senses. Everything is wrapped in our signature parchment and tucked into a beautifully finished keepsake box.

03 / 03

It ships in seven days

Standard delivery is 5–7 business days from our Brooklyn atelier, fully tracked and carbon-neutral. You'll get an email the moment it leaves the studio and again when it lands at your door.

Things travelers ask

A few quick answers.

  • When should I order before my trip?

    Four to six weeks before departure is ideal. That gives our atelier time to source from suppliers in or near your destination and gives you enough runway to live with the box during the slow build-up.

  • What's actually inside?

    Four items, one for each sense — Touch, Taste, Smell, and Knowledge. A textile rooted in the region. A representative food sample. A botanical scent. And a short, beautifully written cultural primer to read on the plane.

  • Can I order for any destination?

    Yes. Type any destination on the homepage and our curators will propose a custom bundle. Custom bundles take a few extra days to assemble — we'll always confirm timing before charging you.

  • Is it a good gift?

    It's one of the most-requested gift formats we ship. Every box arrives in a beautifully finished keepsake box, ready to hand over. A personal note option is coming soon.
