Today is the day.

After many quiet months of sketching, sewing, and stitching, Bella Cache is officially here. I am Juanita E. Livingston, and what you see in this photo is the first piece I ever finished. A travel garm

Yesterday I opened the doors. Today I want to introduce myself properly.

My name is Juanita E. Livingston, and I am the woman behind Bella Cache. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a longtime keeper of small preciou

The idea came to me on an ordinary night, in an ordinary room, with my husband already asleep beside me.

I had spent twenty minutes that evening looking for a single earring. I knew it was somewhere in the drawer, but t

A few of you have written to ask what made me actually build this, after years of just thinking about it.

The honest answer is that I lost a pair of earrings on a trip. They were not the most expensive pair I own, but t

Five days in, and I realize I have not yet shown you the piece itself in plain terms.

Bella Cache is a travel garment. From the outside it looks like a long, simple dress, soft enough to hang in any closet without drawi

Someone wrote in this weekend and asked, very kindly, where exactly Bella Cache is supposed to live.

The answer is the simplest part of the whole story. It lives in your closet, on a hanger, between the other long piece

I want to tell you about the drawer.

You know the one. Lined with felt, sometimes velvet, often a little dusty. Inside, the chains have braided themselves into a single tangled knot. The silver has gone gray in places.

If the drawer is the wrong answer, a safe must be the right one. I used to think so too.

Here is what I learned. A safe is a wonderful place for the papers you never touch and the heirlooms you only wear twice a decade.

Ten days in, and travel is the story I hear most in the letters that have come in this week.

A woman in Charleston wrote about her mother's tennis bracelet, left on a hotel nightstand, never returned. Another wrote abou

This week I want to walk you through the colors, one a day, in the same order I sewed them.

Cream is where I started. It is the closest thing to ivory without ever feeling bridal, the closest thing to white without ever

Beige came second, and I worried about it for weeks before I cut the cloth.

Beige is a word that has been mistreated. It has come to mean boring, or safe, or forgettable, and that is not the beige I wanted to make. The

Dove gray was the one I almost did not make.

Gray is a hard color to get right. Too cool and it reads cold, too warm and it reads brown. I sewed three samples before I had the one that felt like a soft morning sky, the
