Behind the Box - Latin America Fiesta

We had lots of fun creating cute characters with a Latin American vibe for our September box...

The colourful continent of South America provided lots of inspiration for this box - from Peru to Mexico.

As usual we created a gorgeous set of unique illustrations including some cute cacti and lovely llamas, which we used on our exclusive stationery items and a very prickly pair of socks!

We also discovered the delightful tradition of 'papel picado' which originated in Mexico, where colourful cut-out panels are hung from buildings during festive occasions - and so we created our own version, made out of wood and printed with a sparkly pink ink!

The jewellery we created this month was inspired by the ancient sun-worshipping communities of the Aztec and Inca periods, and we continued this theme with our handy ouch-free hair ties! Add to that our pen and notebook set, plus a cute cacti wish bracelet and I hope you'll agree there was lots to smile about in this box!

Here are some of the lovely comments we received from our subscribers about September's box - thank you!

And here are a few pics from our subscribers unboxing their September boxes...
