Gorgeous Gift Wrap: A Style Guide

Wild

Animal patterns—untamed in the wilds of fashion and furniture—provide the perfect skin for an unexpected gift. A black zipper references fashion and is positioned to resemble a jacket that reveals a colorful T-shirt beneath. Layers of paper and ribbon in leopard, zebra, and cheetah patterns roar in both their natural colorings and palettes du jour. For instance, a pink-and-white zebra paper mixed with black-and-white ribbon of the same species is ideal for a lady with a little bit (or a lot!) of sass.
