Sign of the Thymes

THYMES (na srpskom TIMJAN) je kozmeticka kuca iz Mineapolisa u kojoj zene muckaju kremice koje su takve da bi ih one same koristile ili poklonile svojim sestrama. Dobar koncept. Ipak, verujem da po tome nisu apsolutno jedinstvene na planeti Zemlji. Ono sto ih dodatno izdvaja je to sto su nasle pravu ekipu koja pakuje njihove proizvode u najlepse kutijice, kesice i bocice. Duffy&Partners su ucinili da njihova linija proizvoda izgleda... kao san.

Pocnimo od logoa, apliciranog na baner (sa stare verzije sajta) i poslovne papire. Ah, postoje li divniji poslovni papiri... Stancna u obliku viticaste zagrade...



A onda i dalje, dizajn magicno mirisljavih, jedinstveno pitomih linija proizvoda. Najpre drazesna Red Chérie™, pa brilijantno pametna i vazdusasto elegantna Filigree®, onda moj jos uvek aktuelni njujorski miris Kimono Rose, od pocetka do kraja po mojoj meri, i na kraju, besprekorni Coco Monoi.






Coco Monoi ponosno potpisuju ilustratorka Allison Newhouse i dizajner Ken Sakurai. Linkovi na njih jer je bolje kad uz ime ide i lice.

Thymes cudesa su vec godinu ipo uporno i stameno na mojoj USA shopping list. Zamislite, narucite nesto, bilo sta od svega ovoga i onda vam stigne, ovako zapakovano... Blago prekookeanskim damicama...

....................................................................................................THYMES is cosmetics manufacturer from Minneapolis. There, women blend the scents, creams and textures to make products they themselves would use and would give to their sisters. Nice concept. Nevertheless, I believe they're not worldwide unique with it. What makes them utterly distinctive is that they've found the right crew to dress their wonders into most fabulous boxes, sachets, cans and labels. Duffy&Partners made their products look like... a dream. Starting with the logo, applied to the banner (from their old web site) and business papers. Ah, are there business papers more beautiful than this... Flaps cut in the curvy brackets shape...And then, further more, the design of the magically scented, incredibly tame product ranges. Firstly, lovely Red Chérie™, then brilliantly smart and airy elegant Filigree®, then my dear and still fresh NYC scent Kimono Rose, molded fully to my needs from A to Z and finally, impeccable Coco Monoi. The brilliant people behind Coco Monoi are the illustrator Allison Newhouse and the designer Ken Sakurai. Links to them because the face goes well with the name. Thymes wonders are a constant on my USA wish list for more than a year. Just imagine that, you order something from Thymes and it arrives to your doorstep, packed like this... Lucky you, overseas ladies...
