Hmmmm D&G is a hard pass for me.
I am not a LB fan…
Sniff worthy if/when I come across it…..Usually my little Belk store gets these at some point!
I never ran into last year’s flankers, but I didn’t look for them either.
Is it just me or does the font that says ‘Italian Zest’ make those bottles look cheap?
(And I dont think Dolce & Gabbana want to look cheap)
Agree, not a great font choice — but I think it’s the font they were using for the “light blue” wording anyway and it just wasn’t as noticeable because those words are smaller?
Hmm I think the cheap feel also comes from those colours.
I associate yellow and blue mainly with everyday ‘boring’ stuff, like Zeeman (a cheap clothing chain store here in The Netherlands), our railway operator (NS) oh and IKEA of course.
I like the fresh, new look. (The red and blue D & G caps were cheap-looking as well.) And I do like the original Light Blue.
