Prints and Packaging

For The Cottager's apparel line, the prints and packaging take inspiration from the enchanting allure of the outdoors. Embracing a cohesive theme centered around the whimsical charm of nature, our patterns feature delightful illustrations of mushrooms and gnomes, evoking a sense of magic and adventure.

Each piece is adorned with these enchanting motifs, inviting wearers to step into a world of imagination and exploration with every stride. Complementing the line, our packaging design incorporates intricate tree ring patterns on tags and tissue paper, symbolizing the timeless beauty and resilience found in the heart of the forest. Together, these prints and packaging elements create a cohesive visual narrative that celebrates the joy of outdoor living and adds a touch of whimsy to every cottage adventure.
