Swanky Tee, a Cayman Islands T-shirt brand rooted in local culture, needed packaging that could solve a real retail problem — selling folded tee shirts from kiosk stores without hanging displays — while turning the package itself into a cultural storytelling object that tourists would want to take home.
I designed a full-wrap canister label inspired by the brand's connection to Swanky lemonade, using a vintage tropical illustration style with palm trees, ocean, sailboat, and Cayman Islands flag, creating a souvenir-grade aesthetic that communicates island identity and premium craft in a compact, stackable retail format.
The canister became both packaging and product — something customers would display rather than discard, solving the kiosk space problem while turning the unboxing into part of the brand experience.
