A striped ribbon tied into a bow and photographed close up by Alexandra Simms for Canonbury Press, her small press in north London. It is one of the press's ribbon still lifes: Simms ties and arranges each bow herself, so the folds in the fabric are real rather than drawn.

The stripes give it a bright, sweet-shop look. The A6 card is printed in England on Italian-milled paper, finished with hand-rounded corners and paired with a matching envelope. The inside is blank.
