Objects to Desire - Tokyo Milk

I was wandering through my local Department Store and saw the most delightful beauty range -  Tokyo Milk. The packaging was obviously what caught me eye, but the whole brand "story" is so now I just had to share it with you.



It follows the trend of "handmade" looking packaging and web design, which I feel is reflective of our desire for authenticity and objects to be tactile.



The range offers such a variety of product that sell well both in stores and online. It's my theory that anything your don't need to "try on" or touch, and packaging and marketing that is purely visual, will do well online. This range ticks all the boxes. The visual "look" tactile, and create the desire to touch, so the customer HAS to buy them for the full experience. There are good lessons for the new e-tailer there.



The products are generic enough (fragrance,candles, soap, hand cream, body lotions) and priced at a non-prohibitive price point, that they fall beautifully into the chic gift category, and unusual enough to be a fashion forward choice.






The website uses tags and old paper to create a distinctly vintage, collage look. It gives the impression of organic, natural  and scrapbooked. The typography of a vintage typewriter is charmingly simple and chic.
