Rise of the QR codes

QR codes for musiciansQR Codes have slowly but surely become a hot item to increase fan engagement for many artists, bands, brands and companies these days, as their use in every day marketing continues to rise.

I dig their philosophy behind crafting these.
From their website:

Slow Luxury” is our mantra. [It]expresses itself in all the aspects of our work. Sourcing has to be local and from small artisanal partners. We produce small quantities that are certified and individually controlled. Our production techniques have to integrate traditional artisanal techniques and modern knowledge. Hence we preserve a methodology of work and knowledge of product that is very strong in Italy. We create distinctive collections, often in limited quantities. We believe that our company has to grow organically, in partnership with our suppliers. Our products need to last a long life, and accompany its owner, evolving with him. To this extent, vegetable tanned leather is a great material to work with as it matures perfectly, ageing with character. Our products are thought for urban and sophisticated consumer, aware of fashion but not victim of it.
