EASY PEASY GIFT WRAP

Knot Wrap is the LUSH alternative to wrapping with paper and boxes. Inspired by the ancient Japanese tradition of furoshiki, and is a unique and versatile way to wrap anything you like. The possibilities are endless, it's the gift that keeps on giving!

LUSH started designing their own Knot Wraps over 10 years ago and since then they have designed just under 500! 
It’s their mission to create collectors and this is why we have created the Online Lush Knot Wrap Archive. 
The archive shows every design we have ever created, any designs that are not part of the current season are referred to as archive designs.

The London Illustration Fair 2024 has partnered up with our official bar sponsor, Two Tribes Brewery, to bring you an exciting design competition!

As two creative brands seeking a similar ethos, to promote creativity and build partnerships, Two Tribes and The LIF 2024 have concocted competition winning you a year's supply of beer! The winning beer will also be posted to their socials.

Please download the logo template HERE where you can have fun designing your own label. There are no parameters (other than using the template), let your own creative style guide your design as it flows around the can. 

Please upload to your designs to instagram tagging @thelondonillustrationfair @twotribesbrew and using #TheLIF2024 and #TwoTribes+LIF2023

Entries will be displayed on both our social channels and a winner will be announced on the Sunday at the fair!

There will also be an opportunity to come and design your own labels and with a range of pens, coloured paper and, ahem… maybe some glitter!? You can then stick your label on an empty can and place it into the Two Tribes display area. 

The winning design will win a couple of cases of their favourite Two Tribes beer + some awesome merch!

Two Tribes Brewery emerged from London's counterculture.

They unite brewers, artists, musicians, chefs, and craft creators with shared values of fun, freedom, curiosity and creative discovery. They are a community of people who come together to share a love of the moment.
