Guess ? by Marciano Bag
I was debating whether or not to share the infamous blue bag (no, not Tiffany’s) but the Guess by Marciano gift bag. As I plowed through gift bags that my friends kept, there was always one bag they had in common, and no matter what their style was, a Guess bag was nearby. Do you...
Hang-Tag: Kenzie
This brings back British Columbia memories. I used to pass by the Kenzie HQ in New Westminister, BC, all the time when I ventured into Vancouver by skytrain. They could definitely do more to the back of the tag. Don’t you think? It’s such a borefest.
NADA and nadanuff Hang-Tags w/Collection Video
With a lookbook like this, I knew NADA’s hang-tags would be high in quality with a minimalist touch. Check out the video of nadanuff’s (spin-off label of NADA) collection. Loving the creative direction done by Evan Stoymenoff and the music is perfect.
Ice-Watch Packaging
So you heard me buzzing about the Ice-Watch launch two weeks ago and how Idea Workshop threw a well branded event, but let’s take a look at the watches themselves and their packaging. Each Ice-Watch is sold in a building-block bank case (colours vary according to style) that is made from the same material as...
Hang-Tag: Matt & Nat
I’m getting into yoga again and I think the meaning behind Matt & Nat’s ampersand symbol (above) should be turned into a poster – it would be perfect for a yoga studio. Each Matt & Nat bag is made from one (or more) recycled material and about twenty-one plastic bottles are recycled to make linings...
Holt Renfrew Gift Bag
It’s not surprising to see people reuse their shopping gift bags as totes (you know what I’m talking about – and it’s a good thing, by the way), but the Holt Renfrew bags give reusable a whole new meaning. I’ve seen people use it as a “gym” bag and even a “book” bag – with...
Hang-Tag: Roots
I don’t hear much about Roots these days (do you?) so when I came across this awesome Roots hang-tag in my friend’s collection, I was immediately impressed. Sure, I wouldn’t know what to do with this prize ribbon/medallion/badge “thingy”, but I can’t help but think that my friend was “rewarded” for being a Roots customer....
Hang Tag: Canada Goose
Canada Goose has been around since 1946 but their infamous winter jackets hit main stream in 2009. The “warmest jackets on earth” are made with three blends of goose down and are products of Canada. A Canada Goose jacket comes with four hang tags: FRONT BACK I was really excited to find a QR code...
Hang Tag: Aritzia’s Talula
We’ll be building a collection of hang tags! They’re the simple little things that people can keep as souvenirs (but only if they’re unique and well-designed). I love brands who go that extra mile with details. Take a look at Talula (a brand exclusively available at Aritzia). They always have different tags available so it...
Shopping Bag Design: Stylexchange
When I was younger, I went to a family-friend’s house and one of the daughters had retail gift bags tapped all over her walls. It was literally covered from the ground up with shopping bags that she had accumulated over the years. Forget wallpaper, she had bags. This category will be a collection of shopping...
