# Bright Parisian Greetings Surprise Friends and Family Abroad with the Colette Art Postcards By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colette-art-postcards References: [curatedmag](http://www.curatedmag.com/news/2011/07/29/art-postcards-from-colette/) & [colette.fr](http://www.colette.fr/#/home/en/cover_left/5/) I really like postcards and tend to collect a few when I'm traveling; after seeing the Colette Art Postcards, I wish I could've gotten a few of them for my little collection. French boutique Colette is very well known for supplying some of the finest products, which range from headphones to clothing. This time, it's branching out and collaborating with several artists to release the Colette Art Postcards. All the greetings feature original art from three artists: Andre, Genieve Gauckler and Soledad. The graphics have a Parisian theme, with each individual giving it a [quirky cartoon twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doraemon-meets-the-louvre) that I'm really loving. The designs are charming and playful; they would make a great [postcard to send to your friends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress). If not, you can always frame the postcard and make it a decor piece, which would work just as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Art Postcards:** Art postcards are becoming a popular trend, allowing individuals to share unique and original artwork with friends and family. - **Collaborations:** Collaborations between brands and artists are on the rise, providing opportunities to create innovative and creative products. - **Quirky Design:** Quirky and playful designs are gaining popularity, offering a fresh and unique approach to traditional postcard aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Boutique Retail:** Boutique retailers can explore the potential of collaborating with artists to create exclusive products like art postcards, attracting customers with unique offerings. - **Art Market:** The art market can tap into the rising demand for art postcards, providing opportunities for artists to showcase their work and reach a wider audience. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage the trend of framing postcards as decor pieces, offering customers a creative and affordable way to personalize their spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Postcard Cafe Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcards-from-peets.md) - [Luxe-Jewelry Artful Holiday Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-co-2.md) - [Collaborative Hotel Canvas Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w-hotels-x-thomas-llu.md) - [Collaborative Art Museum Stationary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papier-x-the-met.md) - [Hybrid Mail Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-letter-card-co.md) - [Parisian Romance-Inspired Candle Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-home-fragrance.md) - [Luxe Parisian-Inspired Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longchamp-x-constantin-riant.md) - [Playful Limited-Edition Travel Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neely-chloe.md) - [Bright Celebratory Olympic Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-2024-1.md)
