Passepartout as the name of our magazine draws upon its rich literary heritage, derived from Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days. In the novel, Passepartout is the loyal, resourceful valet who accompanies Phileas Fogg on a whirlwind journey around the globe. The character embodies adaptability, adventure, and a sense of worldly exploration, all of which align with the spirit of our magazine.
But beyond its literary reference, the word Passepartout literally translates from French as "goes everywhere," reflecting our magazine's broad scope of content. It suggests a universal key, one that opens doors to endless adventures and opportunities — much like travel itself. Through this name, we convey that our content will provide access to diverse experiences, trends, cultures, and stories from all around the world.
On a deeper level, Passepartout also hints at versatility and framing. In its practical use, it refers to a type of frame that neatly encompasses and presents a picture. For us, this represents our ability to craft the perfect framework for your next journey, whether that's through the latest lifestyle trends, emerging travel destinations, or inspirational people stories. We invite you to step into a world where every article opens a door, every journey has its ideal frame, and every story is a passport to somewhere new.
