Oohlala Paris!

J’adore this illustrated poster of Parisian icons — Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Moulin Rouge — by Sophie Henson.

I unexpectedly spent nearly an hour going through the links at the very fun and colourful Hermès website yesterday. The website is filled with illustration by children book illustrator Alice Charbin.

It really does feel like reading a children’s book, except this one is telling a story with expensive scarfs, bags and other accessories.

If the idea is to get the customer to stay long enough to find something they like, then they succeeded because I left the website with a yearning for an Hermès Offrandes d’un Jour silk twill scarf.

Charmingly beautiful 3D illustrations, reminiscent of painted wooden dolls, from Seiko Ohmori.
