The wayward life (1898-1979) of the voracious art collector and great female patron of world-famous artists. 'Mrs Guggenheim, how many husbands have you had?' 'Do you mean my own, or other people's?' Peggy Guggenheim was an American millionairess art collector and legendary lover, whose father died on the Titanic returning from installing the lift machinery in the Eiffel Tower. She lived in Paris in the 1930s and got to know all the major artists - especially the Surrealists. (Later she bullied Max Ernst into marrying her, but was snubbed by Picasso.) When the Second World War broke out, she bought great numbers of paintings from artists fleeing to America; as a Jew she escaped from Vichy France and set up in New York, where in the 1940s and 50s she befriended and encouraged the New York School (Jackson Pollock, Rothko, etc.) Her emotional life was in constant turmoil - a life of booze, bed and bohemia (mostly rich bohemia). Her favourite husband was a drunken English dilettante writer called Lawrence Vail, but she bedded many others, including Samuel Beckett. Later she moved to Venice, where her memory is enshrined in the world-famous palazzo that houses her Guggenheim Collection.

Small But Mighty — The Best Travel Jewelry Case I’ve Ever Used
Color: Glitter White
This Hatori travel jewelry box is honestly the best little jewelry organizer I’ve ever owned. I don’t know how it works its magic, but it somehow fits so much jewelry and still looks tiny and compact. Go figure. Size & Portability: It’s the perfect size—small enough to toss into a suitcase, carry-on, or even a purse, but big enough to hold everything I need for a trip. Lightweight, sturdy, and it takes up almost no space. Storage Layout: The double-layer design is genius. Bottom: 7 ring rolls + 3 removable compartments (I love that I can move them around depending on what I’m packing). Top: 5 hooks and an elastic pocket to keep necklaces from tangling—YES, it actually works. Everything stays in place, nothing gets tangled, and it looks beautifully organized when you open it. A travel miracle. Quality: The glittery white PU leather exterior is sturdy and cute, and the interior is lined with soft velvet that protects everything. The clasp is easy to use and feels secure—no accidental openings in your suitcase. Why I Love It: It’s compact, durable, organized, and honestly just adorable. Perfect for travel, but also great for keeping your everyday jewelry together in a drawer. If you travel at all—or just like your jewelry organized—this little box is worth every penny. It packs a punch for its size.

Great travel jewelry case
Color: Black
Great colors. Good size. Easy to pack and carry. Fits a good amount of jewelry. It’s decent quality. I know there is better out there but for the value it’s great. It snaps close and I haven’t had mine accidentally come open at all. The inside is soft. My necklaces did get a little tangled inside but not too bad. I could have put them in there better. Very nice though.

Store it all!
Color: Pink
This is a compact, light weight, efficient, and sturdy/convenient way to securely store jewelry. The small compact case allows jewelry from earrings to necklaces to bracelets and rings to be all together without being tangled and/or on top of each other. I have more earrings than rings so I used the ring area to store the rest of my earrings. The tight clasp allows the lid to be fasten snuggly to the body of the case. The price was right considering what other stores were charging. I chose the pink case which is a very soft pink, as like the case, but there are other colors to choose from. The case is mobile and would stand strong in a carry on case or bag. I highly recommend this item if you are looking to organize and have your jewelry neatly and safely all in one place!

Cute and super convenient for travel
Color: Black
Really happy with this jewelry box overall. It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for travel. The compartments are well designed for rings, earrings, and even long bracelets, which fit really nicely. The only downside for me is the necklace section. When using multiple necklaces, they can get tangled, so it’s not the most practical part of the case. Other than that, it’s a great product for the price and looks very cute
