Welcome to this beautiful mess! I’m Esmé – writer, filmmaker, Londoner living in Switzerland and all-round good egg. I love life, film, gadgets and I’m big on style.
I have a cosmic passion for luggage, hence the name ‘Portmanteau’. When I was a kid, I had a baby-blue suitcase, filled with a carefully curated capsule of my favourite things, just in case my eight-year-old self had to jet off somewhere important!
I wanted to create a blog that gets to the point without the blah-blah; that doesn’t meander on a winding journey so long and arduous that you forget the reason you … wait … where was I?
… Coffee-Table blog. Simple. Thanks for joining me.
All we need is love and a bit of common sense. And courtesy. We need courtesy.
