2000s

Something in this decade refuses to soften, holding its shape long past the point where older cloth would have surrendered. I like running a thumb over the stitching that holds it together, tight and almost invisible. Nothing goes anywhere until it's properly looked after, and Melbourne is where that looking after happens.
