One or two words, perhaps, but this is clearly meant to be descriptive - in other words, to be read and understood.

Think of how Asian people wrap their gifts using English newspaper, think of how the T shirts here are with loads of English nonsense o ... should it have been more meaningful just because of more words?


A few words= simple, cool
Many words= delicate, authentic, fashionable
