Scotties facial tissues and design manufacturer Umbra,  recently collaborated on this line of tissue boxes aimed at style-savvy consumers. Without a doubt, the average tissue box leaves a lot to be desired and these graphics are an improvement – a little expected perhaps, but cleaner and less kitschy than the usual fare. Still, it’s hard not to be disappointed in a collaboration that emphasizes only the most superficial aspects of design. Nothing wrong with prettier packaging, but in contrast with [Scotties’ other new product line](http://www.scotties.ca/english/products.php?P=EnviroCare), which is 100% recycled and Ecologo certified, the Designer Series offers ultra thick 3ply tissue in limited edition”super chic varnish-finish boxes”.
