March 24th: First Couturier Storeroom Visit
[The First Couturier's Storage]
Lily-shaped sconces are obscured by ceiling-high stacks of stamped crates, the overflowing containers filled with various paraphernalia. A lone leather-backed chair sits buried beside pewter-riveted trunks, the clutter-filled containers covered by lengths of silk draped across a grouping of mannequins nestled against the back wall. Room-length shelves occupy the available space along the walls, leaving enough space for a series of sealed chests to serve as makeshift tables. Obvious exits: out
A peahen-stamped crate:

a pewter-riveted trunk
