Brown Paper Packages Tied with String

I seem to update my packaging a lot. Why, you may ask?! Well it's because I'm always thinking of new ideas to ship out my bow ties to make them even more unique then they already are. It's the first thing the customer sees before opening their tie. It needs to be eye catching but also not distract from the tie too.

Growing up on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, steaming up crabs would be something that would happen throughout the summer. To help protect the picnic table before slamming away on the shells of the crab to get to the yummy/juicy meat, my family would always cover it with brown paper; covering the table would also come in handy through the cleaning up process.

My inspiration for my new packaging comes from my life style of being raised on steamed crabs.  Brown wrapping paper with natural bakers twine, sometimes we would use this twine to wrap chicken necks to catch crabs the old fashion way of getting them right from our piers.

I bought this adorable dachshund tape dispenser from Target and I can't get over how cute it is! Definitely reminds me of my little Pablo that my mother is taking care back home in Maryland.

Twine. 

I can't get enough of it! 

I'm really loving this packaging and the inspiration behind it too! 

Stay hooked, the best is yet to come! 

Tied Up with String

So it’s about time that Chesapeake Tides get a face lift! Before I had gotten some nautically themed paper from Paper Source and used that to wrap up my ties and sealed them with some Washi tape. Now, I plan to keep things more simple but just as…Chesapeake Bay inspired.
While I spent last weekend with the family in Laguna Beach, I came across a home decor store that was filled with all things nautical.{I wanted to purchase everything for my future home} I’ve been wanting, for a long time now, try out Bakers Twine. Well, this little home decor store happened to have some of that…in Navy!{perfect! no?}
