COMTESSE DU BARRY - DESIGN PACKAGING

---

PACKAGING DESIGN

Comtesse du Barry has been growing and evolving for more than a century. The Maison blew out this year its 100 candles. Such beautiful years during which the company imagined, conceived, produced and proposed French premium gastronomic delights.

On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, Comtesse du Barry assigns us many gourmet and festive innovations (from the packaging to the showcase) for its customers‘enjoyment.

Echoing the precious Art Deco motifs which symbolize the festivities of 1908,
the Christmas 2018 collector boxes open onto a world of elegance that fits perfectly with the iconic delicacies of the brand.

Gabrielle box
We created a prestige box to pay tribute to Gabrielle Dubarry, founder of the House : Gabrielle, an exceptional goose foie gras imagined in a limited edition. This signature foie gras is presented in a prestigious setting, the “secret trunk”.

Terrine box
There’s no doubt that the magic of the Christmas period can be found in its collection of terrine, fully redesigned with art deco patterned drawers.

Advent calendar
Over time, a new surprise is revealing each morning... In order to make the wait for Christmas a real pleasure, we imagined a graphic and gourmet calendar that takes the form of a shop as we could have found 110 years ago.

This openable calendar delivers all its delicious secrets and enhances the effect of surprise as each calendar contains a ticket to win.

EXCELLENCE RHUM - PACKAGING DESIGN

View fullsize

PACKAGING DESIGN

Excellence Rhum, a family company, honors the authenticity of rums from all over the world and the expertise of traditional distilleries.

For the creation of its "COLLECTION" range, we have established a brand identity and a graphic universe for the 4 first aged rum cuvees with strong tasting notes.

Our concept, based on strong elements from the 4 Caribbean islands, illustrates the history and the identity of rum varieties.

The selection of typical elements from each local culture has enabled us to represent each cuvee with an animal as an ambassador and a symbol of each island.

The use of vivid colors in delicate engraving illustrations gives to the range a real authenticity with a touch of modernity. The colors have been selected so as to highlight the different color and origin of each rum.

SAINT JAMES - PACKAGING DESIGN

PACKAGING DESIGN

SAINT JAMES agricole rums, famous all over the world for their exceptional quality, are the fruit of a long history of passion, know-how and expertise which started in 1765. 

Elaborated from fresh pure sugarcane juice, SAINT JAMES rums have been accredited the Martinique A.O.C. ( Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée/Controlled Designation of Origin) which ensures their quality and their intimate link with the planting terroir.

Our mission was to create a packaging common to the three different SAINT JAMES references. The packaging size was adapted to the Long Island 70 cl.  This packaging had to value the SAINT JAMES brand and to drive purchase intent across the various distribution networks: GMS, Wine merchants, Export (Duty-free).

We created a sober packaging following the codes of the luxury sector,  with a window in the box which lets the front label of the brand readable. The graphics are consistent with the packaging of the 3 decanters so as to create a range effect. The window was designed shifted and overflowing on the side of the packaging to give an identity to the packaging and emphasize the shape of the bottle.

A "Neutral" marking in a way that it is adaptable on the 3 references. - printing on matt black paper: embossing, hot gilt, selective varnish. The inner packaging was lined with gold to sublimate the color of rum drinks.

SIX-YEAR OLD VINTAGE VIRGINIE T. CHAMPAGNE

---

View fullsize

VISUAL IDENTITY AND PACKAGING DESIGN

For VIRGINIE T., her own brand of exceptional mature vintages, Virginie Taittinger was looking for a visual identity and packaging that would be consistent with the two key values of her House:
- Innovation, which is reflected both in the way the champagne is made and in its exclusive distribution via the website of the brand: www.champagnevirginiet.com
- Traditional ancestral know-how, which is so specific to great champagnes

Classical patterns in a Second Empire style have been livened up by bright colours that reflect the modernity of the packaging innovation: a case that turns into a champagne bucket and can hold chilled water for several hours. Thanks to thermochromic ink, the VIRGINIE T. marking at the back of the bottle changes from white to red when the ideal serving temperature of 8°C is reached.
