After Eight The Design Edition by Walala has been announced as a contemporary take on the classic product to accommodate easy, stylish gifting this holiday season. The collaboration between the mint chocolate brand and the London-based artist and designer sees the product box with its signature branding paired with a vibrant, chromatic finish. The packaging is thus enveloped in vibrant, colorful designs including color blocks, geometric patterns and an overall playful energy to give it a contemporary feel with a timeless touch.
Camille Walala commented on the After Eight The Design Edition by Walala saying, "I’ve always believed that design has the power to spark joy in everyday life — and that’s exactly what I wanted to bring to After Eight. This collaboration was an opportunity to play with bold colours, geometric patterns, and a touch of British elegance, all wrapped around an iconic product that so many people love. I hope this design makes people smile, before they even open the box!”
