As more and more budding jewelry designers pop up, there's an increased expectation to differentiate oneself from the pack. People have been finding creative ways to become acclaimed and successful designers from using acrylic in lieu of metal, swapping solid cast bands for wire, and hipping up gemstones instead of pricey diamonds and precious rocks (to name a few tactics). And voila, poor jewelry!
This one's new to us, though: Azumi and David's packing tape jewelry! For the extremely affordable price of £9-11, you can pick up a tape-on bracelet, belt, or watch.
While A'N'D''s low-end accessories are cute in design and original in concept, we're not too sure who exactly would tape on a black and white belt before heading off to a cocktail party. These might be better suited for a children's playroom or as a fun alternative to brown packing tape. Then again, we can never predict what quirky innovation will captivate customers...
I would like to use these as actual packing tape...for packages.
