What is the Artisanal Authenticity trend?
Artisanal Authenticity: A growing preference for authenticity meshed with exclusivity is supporting the more niche, artisan brand over the conglomerate. Packaging designs that have a bespoke feel and have enhanced product description satiate craving for trustworthiness. This also works to create an air of exclusivity that’s in-line with urban lifestyles.
