The Globetrotting Stylist's Treasure Hunting Essentials
![Sibella](https://s3.amazonaws.com/fathom_media/photos/Sibella-Court-Portrait.jpg.1200x800_q85_crop.jpg)
A jack of many trades, interior stylist Sibella Court is one of our favorite travelers to follow on Instagram because she’s always on the go — scouting locations for her next hospitality project, sourcing goods for her Sydney shop, and collecting material for her latest book. We asked the Australian creative for a list of her packing essentials, the products she can’t bear to travel without.
I travel in search of inspiration, which I find when I pay close attention to the way people live in different environments, use exotic materials for their crafts, and approach color combinations both man-made and natural. From scent to soundscape, a change in daily life allows me to look, immerse, embrace, and soak up all the details that I then refer to later in my interior design projects, product developments, and writing.
