Unique Properties: Chocolate Mouth is an artisan chocolate brand from Austin, Texas, known for its handcrafted bonbons and playful, unconventional gift boxes.
The brand was created to bring personality, humor, and attitude back to chocolate - moving away from traditional, overly romantic chocolate branding.
The concept was built around the spirit of Austin, a city famous for its creative culture, music, art, and the well-known phrase Keep Austin Weird.
Dimensions & Packaging: The box 1 250 mm x 250 mm x 40 mm
The box 2 180 mm x 120 mm x 40 mm
Tags: chocolate, bonbon, packaging, illustration
Production Technology: A key part of the brand identity is the custom illustration style, created specifically for this project. Every illustration was designed from scratch and brings its own character to the packaging, ranging from playful skeletons and retro tattoos to Austin landmarks and cultural references.
Design Challenge: We created a bold and expressive visual identity that reflects Austin’s culture and the brand’s playful personality.
The project included the development of: Logo Design, Brand Identity System, Packaging Design for multiple chocolate box collections, Custom Illustration System, E-commerce Website Design & Development
Research: These illustrations create a visual language that feels alive, unconventional, and unmistakably Austin.
The packaging was designed to function like mini art posters, turning each chocolate box into a collectible object rather than just a container.
To support the brand experience online, we also designed and developed a custom e-commerce website that continues the same visual storytelling. The site reflects the same bold personality - colorful, playful, slightly weird, and unmistakably unique.
Inspiration: The main challenge was to create a brand that would stand out in a market dominated by traditional, elegant, and predictable chocolate packaging.
Chocolate Mouth wanted something different - something that reflects real life, real emotions, and real personalities. Their chocolate is not only for holidays like Valentine’s Day or weddings. It’s for breakups, celebrations, random Tuesdays, and everything in between.
Project Duration: Started in August 2025 and finished in February 2026 in Texas, USA
Operation Flow: Our goal was to translate this unique energy into a brand that feels bold, expressive, and a little rebellious, while still celebrating the craft of small-batch chocolate making. The brand needed to capture: the creative and slightly chaotic energy of Austin, a strong visual personality, packaging that feels collectible, fun, and memorable, a visual system that could work across multiple themed gift boxes and seasonal drops.
