understanding the ICONOLOGY
To help you identify the techniques used in a collection, we established a series of icons that represent 19 various
techniques commonly used in our designs. The icons that are highlighted in the bar on our packaging will denote
the techniques we’ve used in that collection, while the shaded out ones will be the unused techniques. Below, we
will define each icon, as well as provide a few examples of collections that feature these techniques.
