FINE PAPER TAKEO CHINESE RED PACKET

This packaging project’s challenge is to redesign Fine Paper Takeo Chinese Red Packet series.

Ephemeral Blessings is a red packet series inspired by omamori, a traditional Japanese charms from Shinto shrines and temples that people carry for protection and good fortune, capturing the beauty of a blessing held only for a moment. The three designs represent Wealth, Health, and Luck, expressed through symbols like coins, bamboo, mountains, koi fish, and lotus flowers.

Together, this collection transforms a simple red packet into a tiny charm, an ephemeral yet meaningful wish for the year ahead.
