Luxury Lingerie:
Unboxing as a Brand Ritual
Luxury packaging design agency: turning a delivery into a brand ritual for a fashion label
Challenge
How does packaging design translate into measurable brand equity for a luxury fashion label?
Insight
Customers told us they never wanted the unboxing experience to end, but that a crushed box could crush the whole moment. They weren’t anticipating the delivery of a garment, they were anticipating the arrival of a feeling.
Acting as the packaging design agency, Niki and Scott realised packaging wasn’t logistics. It was the brand story landing in someone’s hands. The packaging needed to extend the customer experience before and after the handover, and become part of the brand’s lore.
How does product packaging design elevate the luxury fashion unboxing experience?
Scott’s creative packaging design started with a strong, striking mailing box with tactile surfaces in brand colours that would elicit an eyebrow-raise even before the delivery person handed it over.
An abstract foil logo wrapped around the entire box, which was held by a satin ribbon handle. Once the cheeky sticker seal was broken, the lid lifted to reveal the delicate items inside held in place on a folded card bodyform. Hidden delights were concealed beneath a false bottom to keep the experience going after the reveal and encourage the customer to ‘Dare to be Different’ and share their look.
