I am misappropriating factual recent art thefts to suit my needs, thus making Arthur and Eames badasses. With that I am also painting the Swiss in negative light due to my limited research (I’m not an art historian) into the storage, appropriation, and sale of Nazi war plunder. I acknowledge that it could be read as offensive but I do not personally think Swiss people are corrupt or Nazi supporters, only that their government and banking system has been a bit shady about their dealings with Nazi seized art and gold.
Here are the suits that Arthur and Eames wear throughout the fic:
Eames’ Airport Suit
Arthur’s gallery suit
Eames’ gallery suit
Eames' & Arthur’s Heist suits. Which are from the beautiful artwork that inspired this story by chosenfire28.

Arthur pulls his car into the airport terminal, moving right towards passenger pick-up and pushing his sunglasses up his head now that he’s under the canopy. He searches the crowd for Eames, having received a simple text stating, “Customs.”
