For those of you who might be borderline shopaholics, your empty luxury boxes and packaging could make you some extra bucks.
Whether the famous blue box from Tiffany & Co. or Chanel’s covetable perfume bottle, the packaging is a brand’s direct link to share their unique story and plays an integral role even once the product’s lifecycle is over.
From intricate detailing to high-quality raw materials, luxury brands use packaging as a symbol of opulence to indicate the brand’s message to consumers, while holding the highest standards of design and detail.
