Dutch Packaging Design

Stepfive develops new brands and concepts for the foodbranche, beverages and luxurious products (i.e. cosmetics) on a daily basis. We analyze various markets in search of opportunities commissioned by our clients, but also on our own initiative.  This perfume “Dutch Beauty” is a fine example of said initiative and is developed to spread the wonderful sent of Dutch tulips all around the world. The shape of the bottle is based on (obviously) a tulip, the top of the bottle can be removed and the perfume can be applied by using the dispenser. The bottle is made of glass except for the top which is made of glossy plastic. Are you interested in this concept? Please contact us www.stepfive.nl
