Snake Envelopes
CROSSROADS Antiques. Envelope Design / 2025
For CROSSROADS Antiques’ Year of the Snake red envelopes, I combined classical tulips, bursting pomegranates, and curling vines with the brand’s mirrored serpent emblem, blending the uncanny with a refined vintage charm.
True to the name CROSSROADS, heritage is where past and future meet.
These red envelopes not only celebrate the New Year but also carry the traditional blessing of growth and prosperity passed from one generation to the next.
我用了古典鬱金香、飽滿開裂的石榴，和纏繞的藤蔓，這些自然元素與品牌的鏡像蛇型標誌交織在一起，在奇異與復古中展現出和諧與豐饒的美。
如同CROSSROADS 的名字，傳承即是每一個過去與未來的交會處。新年的紅包除了作為辭舊迎新的象徵，也承載了長輩望晚輩茁壯成長的祝願。

The envelopes come in two hues that echo the brand’s timeless aesthetic: a winter wild-rose and a lichen sage green, each layered with distinct metallic foils.
The wild-rose version pairs a deep coffee base with rich gold, like moonlight over the earth; the sage-green version features pale gold and an iridescent foil that shifts with a subtle, luxurious sheen.
紅包紙材延續CROSSROADS 的古典氣質，
選擇了如冬日大地上的野玫瑰色和地衣般的石灰苔綠，
並使用兩種不同的金屬箔層疊。
野玫瑰色紅包以深咖啡色為底，搭配濃郁的金箔，像滿月映照大地；石灰綠色紅包則以冷調的淺金搭配變幻色彩的箔，箔色的轉換十分高級且細膩。
