Despite being squeezed for area in a crammed workshop (rightly so due to how good she is), each garment has its rightful place in her organised chaos.

Of course, probably the most complicated of all is Rednaxela Terrace in Mid-Levels, named after its first proprietor [thought to be a man named Alexander], however spelled backwards.
