BRIEF

After nearly ten years with her previous packaging, Lucy Folk tasked TRiC with redesigning her packaging suite to coincide with the opening of her Paddington boutique. As a legacy client, we had significant understanding of the brand’s journey and philosophy in undertaking the project.

RESPONSE

Our approach took inspiration directly from the Lucy Folk world. Rather than creating new assets, we worked within the existing brand, and provided subtle intervention through colour, texture and scale while limiting the use of inks and glues. 

The core motif — a sun face — can be seen across the Lucy Folk towelling range, as well as on the counter of their Paddington Boutique, designed by Tamsin Johnson. Imbedded in the Lucy Folk brand DNA, the motif had the strength to be obscured as a blind emboss across the packaging suite.

Working closely with the teams at Lucy Folk and Contain, we ensured the packaging was sustainable, cost effective and luxurious, without compromising on function.

OUTCOME

The packaging culminates in a melange of elements; cotton pouches, subtle tonal shifts, layered textures and a gold foil logo to house treasures from the Lucy Folk collection. 

As the brand evolves, TRiC’s relationship with Lucy Folk continues to manifest through campaigns and collaborations — expressions of the brand’s storytelling, craftsmanship and authenticity.
