This is lavender lotion that caught my attention because of its packaging. The label has used some elements from the arts and crafts movement. 

The Arts and Crafts movement was when design started to have lots of detail in a decorative form. This was a result of the mass production in Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Craft movement was about attention to detail to make things look beautiful. 

Although this isn't completely this style the decorative border in the centre of the label is. The border is in the shape of a star or flower which makes it more interesting. The Arts and Crafts movement has a lot of designs with decorative foliage patterns. This border on the lavender lotion has used a similar style. Also, the label isn't cut straight it has a patterned edge which gives it more detail which was the aim of this movement.

Although it hasn't used all the elements of the movement it has used some and has created a simplified design.
