Changing codes of luxury
We see a shift in consumer expectations and behaviors calling for a new type of experience from packaging. “Buy less, choose well, make it last” to quote Vivienne Westwood. For packaging this means designing for values and behaviors that are shifting towards experience, convenience and meaning, sustainability and delight. What we at the Absolut Company call Packaging with Purpose.

Reusable packaging – the new natural in cosmetics
In a disconnected world, we need new thinking to reach better decisions and build for the future.
