Very Victorian

Over at A Field Journal, author Livy created a very victorian packaging suite for her loved one to open on his birthday. How sweet, right?! But it’s all in the details as they say. Just look at how it’s all put together including the tag. Love it! 0

Brooklyn Slate Company

I found this lovely while looking at a WordPress gallery. The Brooklyn Slate Company is the work of two Brooklynites who are obssessed with food which then turned into their slate product company. They produce and package their slate products by hand in their studio, located in (you guessed it) Brooklyn. Isn’t it amazing how simple and attractive packaging can be? “Envelopes and other materials are printed by hand, and burlap bags are hand sewn too. Every single piece of packaging that comes with our products can be repurposed for other uses.” 0

French Navy

Sometimes I purchase items just for the packaging, and this would definitely be the case with French Navy. French Navy is an online stationery company out of Australia that has impressive packaging that just made me say Ooooohhh. View more of the packaging on lovelypackage.com. 0

Rocker Marries Knitter

I wasn’t sure how to title this post exactly but this is one amazing invitation. Created by Jordan Gray Creative for the musician Denison Witmer and his wife, who loves to knit. The all encompassed self-mailing invitation has two fold-outs for directions and the rsvp. Nicely done. View the high-res photos on Flickr. via NotCot 0

Little Thanksgiving

I am totally obsessed with Chelle Paperie’s Little Thanksgiving invitations! I’ve posted about their work before, but these are gorgeous. I wouldn’t miss this event, would you? 2-ply bookboard flush-mounted between two sheets of pearlescent cardstock, die-cut accompanied by custom linen bags using fabric leftover from their wedding. See the full gallery of images on Flickr. 1

Ribbons

When visiting my favorite antique store to find a desk (which I did find!) I found a selection of ribbons. The ribbons aren’t usually there so I bought a few and will go back for more if still there. I thought I could use them for some Valentine’s Day cards, some wedding invites, and some birth announcements. Aren’t they pretty?! 0

The Masonry Binder

I just can’t get over how wonderful this packaged set for Thompson Building Materials is. The design is by Nate Yates, a designer from (I think) the west coast. All of his work is worth taking a look at, so get over there and peek around. 0

Peter Pavlov’s Doritos

Doritos offered a chance for eager designer’s to create new packaging for the crispy cheesy chip, and I would have to say Peter Pavlov’s concept is pretty darn good! Due to the packaging’s structure, it can keep itself closed rather than using a clip. Although I’m not sure how they would stay fresh unless it closes fairly tight, it’s a good idea. Right now the packaging uses only solid colors but Peter is developing illustrations to adorn the package and is asking for others to contribute their designs, maybe even a gallery would be created for those submissions.

Sugar•Paper

Thanks to @simplepretty on Twitter I fell in love with the Gold Label Recipe Box, at $96 it would make a great gift. (hint, hint) I also adore many of their stationery pieces, some of my favorites are below. 0

Delicia by Avant

I love the work proposed by avant for Delicia, a Latin Deli Store. The identity and the screenprinted packaging, delicioso! Avant is a multidisciplinary design studio out of Buenos Aires. Thanks to Ellie from the Mint design blog where I first seen this work. 0
