The Great Bear
‘Ursa Major, The Great Bear’ create super natural (not the sci-fi kind) skincare products for men. Like most designers, I’m a sucker for great packaging design and branding; and Ursa Major certainly fits the bill. The guys from PTARMAK are behind the design work. It’s well worth taking a look at their website for some truly excellent design (and portfolio photography). Here.

Cavalier Essentials
“If Steve McQueen carried a beat-up leather duffle bag on the back of his motorcycle; what would be in it and how would the products look?”
Intrigued? Well, designer Taylor Pemberton, with the help of photographer Collin Hughes, have come up with an answer. Cavalier Essentials is a beautiful hand-crafted line of accessories & fine goods. To quote the website: “a line of vintage products designed for the rugged, yet sophisticated gentleman”.
What particularly stands out for me is the product packaging. It timelessly captures the style and attitude of that period. Products for the gentleman. These go along way in supporting the entire lifestyle vibe of the project.
Always a pleasure to see these self initiated projects.

Reducing Puma’s Paw-Print
Quirky little video from Puma demonstrating their new ‘Clever Little Shopper’ plastic shopping bags. 100% bio-degradable, each bag is made from corn starch and can even be dissolved in a bowl of warm water. Continuing uba-eco work from Puma, following their rethink of the shoe box last year. Via @Nugenko.
