The design direction was rooted in the brand’s signature identity, literally.
Inspired by the delicate script logo and watercolor mark, the packaging was designed to feel light, ethereal, and feminine, balancing softness with a premium finish.
A restrained palette of white, lilac, and deep purple created a clean foundation, while subtle sparkle elements introduced a sense of personality and product desirability.
