This is insanely clever.
My thoughts exactly.
My mind was just blown.
Pretty neat and clever :) but who shops via Instagram tho?
i would guess maybe people that follow interior design trends that use houzz or something similar
There's an entire Instagram economy booming in some Middle Eastern countries, where mobile web is basically the only web and social media was everybody's first website — instead of Geocities.

I'll love to try this out on my own.
Edit: There's an app for that. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instabanners-post-banners/id644421758?mt=8
IKEA did something similar in 2009 on facebook.
Reminds me of the days when people used to slice up their psd files into table cells.
The entire idea is clever, but tagging pieces individually is brilliant. Large brands waste a lot of money building things aimed at that type of product engagement.
wow, way to go, awesome thinking
Wow, this is brilliant.
Awesome. This guy uses the Instagram grid similar to this too, worth checking out: @henrywarhol (view on a phone).
This is pure genius oO
Love this, really imaginative idea.
Great idea and use of Instagram.
