rivets, nails, zips and buttons will all decorate and detail these pieces becoming the toolbox of the season playing with basic colours and mat metal detailing in sturdy fabrications in canvas, poplin and gabardine as well as the revival of nylon and silks in 3d surfaces acting as the MONOMETALLICS of the season

caixa de ferramentas


Explanation:
Toolbox is a conjunction word, which means one single word has 2 meanings. You could say "box of tools", it would sound correct but for whatever reason it is not used regularly by English native speaker.

Example sentence(s):
  • "I store all my tools in my own toolbox and I lock it up just to make sure no one stills them."
