joy by mel lim *

san diego based designer, mel lim has produced a stunning line of papers and boxes called "joy" that combine modern design with traditional asian imagery. lim's line of wrapping papers, stationery, boxes and gift baskets are truly a work of art- each piece uses wonderfully saturated colors and 100% post-consumer elemental chlorine free fibers (for eco-conscious shoppers). what i love the most about the "joy" collection is its use of color and pattern to create a rich, modern look that's perfect for any occasion. and best of all, d*s readers will love the prices- cards and wraps range from around $6 to $28 for boxes of multiple cards [gift baskets are a bit more, around $120]. you can view ans shop the joy collection right here. enjoy! [thanks, mel!]
