I've been doing a lot of online shopping lately and it was my frist time ever getting anything from Piperlime.com Piperlime is the luxury site, similar to net-a-porter or e-luxury, except it's part of the Gap family (Banana Republic, Old Navy, etc). So when I got my package today I was extremely satisfied with the packaging! I'm sure it hurts you too to pay for shipping but it doesn't when they took so much time to prop it all up. When I opened up the box it was wrapped in tissue paper and placed so gently and delicately and even had a shopping bag. If you've read this blog for a while now you know how much I love to package things and I'm glad to see other people have such joy for it too. Not like all the packages I've gotten that are just wrapped in plastic bags.

I absolutely love Kanye's new album packaging. One of the only reasons I HAD to buy it. But I was thinking about when I was younger and had no interest in "art", I still had an infatuation with things like: movie posters, pokemon, digimon, Sanrio, Star Wars, Crazy Bones, watching how the monsters were made in Power Rangers, etc. and that's because-now looking back-all those things had really amazing illustrations/craftsmanship, for the most part. Pokemon cards used everything from holographics, sketches, clay models, painting and more and more.
