Random Parcel Sightings

In an odd sideline to my normal illustration and fine art career I have over the years designed four lines of Audio Couture bags for LoopNYC / Parcel. These bags were in the shape of Boom Boxes, Turn Tables, Cassete Tapes, Recorders, Keyboards, and Guitars. They were sold in Urban Outfitters, Ricky's, and in fashionable boutiques around the world. Worn by celebs, and printed in magazines. Now, years later, whenever I randomly see one on the street, I introduce myself and ask if I can take a picture. I noticed a trend of people who have taken pictures of themselves wearing their bags on flickr and on the web. I will try to document those shots here too. If you have photos of you or your friends, send us a link, you will be part of the history.

Bleeker Street, NYC - July 07 I spotted this girl wearing the cassette player.  I think she said her name was AMY.

Artist Kristin Kemper is smiling like that because I just told her that she is wearing one of the Parcel bags I designed.  I still see them on people from time to time.  She said she has two of them, this on has working speakers and her sister got it for her at the Virgin Megastore.
