Christmas by Colour is a not-for-profit collaborative exploration into the colours that shape Christmas. I posted some of my favs.

These things just don’t belong

Louis Vuitton is synonymous with luxury. I do believe that if it wasn't for the knock-offs LV would not be as coveted or where it is today? (I'm not advocating...just stating) However, these copyright infringements are just plain wrong...T
