Stuart Kolakovic Tea Packaging Illustrations
Raise your hand if you would buy these teas (designed for Marks & Spencer) purely because of the wonderfully realized packaging by illustrator Stuart Kolakovic. Two hands up over here (unfortunately I can't find them available for purchase online)! Stuart is a master...his works are like stories unto themselves, with each intricate image weaving a visual tale that you just want to wrap yourself up inside of. See much more of Stuart Kolakovic's work on his portfolio here. xo Ez

I'm pretty sure M&S don't do online mail order for their food ranges, which they TOTALLY should if they're going to sell pretty things. Anyway if anyone really wants them let me know and I'd be happy to hunt them down and get them for you. Mail me:

Wow after Sanna Annukka looks like Marks and Spencer will use another talented illustrator. Wonderful. I can't wait to buy it. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.

Those are so pretty! I love when someone takes the time to make even their packaging gorgeous. It shows how much they care about their product.
Hi Ez, i actually bought them in liverpool, last december... for me and for friends as gifts, because i fell in love with the packaging...as most of the products from M&S, all gorgeous and tasty!
yep ! I would completely do something like that !! going to the uk in February and could loke for it.... :)
Oh I absolutely ADORE these!!
I just bought some hand soap for $28 because I loved the design of the bottle (http://greenandspring.com/). I would NEVER had paid that for regular hand soap (I'm cheap)! I would pay that much for these teas for the packaging!
I am *such* a sucker for pretty packaging....sigh
oh joy! this packaging is way too cute! I will searching for these teas at my local M&S... give me a shout if you would like me to look at them for you :-)
Yeah! Marks and Sparks. It's my replacement store for Target.
I really like these....so adorable. I have such a soft spot for package design and especially when they look like this:) Just beautiful illustrations.

my hand is held high
Oh yes I have to admit I swept an arm load of these into my basket on my last visit to M&S! Lovely.
I am absolutely, positively guilty of being a sucker for amazing packaging or kick-butt graphics on a product. You are not alone! :)
yuuuup... guilty too. i've even bought things i didn't exactly need for the store bag or even (eek) the swing tag. ha. sounds like we've all got hands up ;)
Packaging has so much say in this world, ha! I would definitely be one to purchase these.. they do look like quite healthy teas, too!
I actually DID buy them just for the packaging last time I was in England. And now I will gift the calming one to a new mom! Thanks for your wunderfully inspirational blog! Love from Germany...
Me, me me! I would buy it in a heartbeat! These are gorgeous!
Love them too, but deeply in love with the Clipper's one.
