Banana Republic and Clos du Bois Winery Unveil Limited-Edition ...
In an unlikely partnership, Banana Republic and Clos du Bois Winery have joined forces to create limited-edition holiday bottles for the Clos du Bois North Coast Chardonnay and North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon. Designed by Banana Republic Creative Director Simon Kneen, the festive hand-sketched labels are designed to bring cheer to holiday parties, stockings and evenings by the fire.
On each bottle there is a QR code which will instantly give consumers access to a holiday party soundtrack, style tips from Banana Republic’s Simon Kneen, entertaining advice from lifestyle expert Katie Lee and food and wine recommendations from Clos du Bois Winemaker Gary Sitton.
“Inspired by the glamour of the holidays, the bottles illustrate the brands’ shared passion for effortless sophistication. Each sketch is a perfect fit for the wine it adorns—the ‘go-to’ little black dress is particularly fitting for a universal favorite like Chardonnay, while a red full-skirted frock made for romance and dancing the night away makes a bold statement on the Cabernet Sauvignon,” the press release read. Kneen continues, “What really excites me about this creation is that it offers our consumers a completely different option for holiday gifts this year. Everything deserves a little extra sparkle and glamour over the holiday season, so why not your wine too? It’s safe to say everyone on my list knows what they’re getting this year!...
Banana Republic limited-edition holiday wine from Clos du Bois winery
Clothing company Banana Republic has teamed up with a California winery to create limited-edition holiday bottles that target the female wine sipper with hand-sketched labels of the little black dress and fancy, sweeping red frock. Banana Republic’s party dresses, rendered by the company’s creative director Simon Kneen, will be embellished on Clos du Bois’s most popular wines. The 2010 North Coast Chardonnay is depicted by a classic LBD — little black dress — and is described as ripe with flavors of pear, green apple, honeysuckle and toasty oak. The 2008 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, meanwhile, is described as having notes of blackberry, plum, toasted oak, vanilla and hints of spice, ideal for steak, meat-based pasta dishes or heady chocolate desserts like chocolate fondue. The red wine is depicted with a full-skirted, strapless red cocktail dress.
“What really excites me about this creation is that it offers our consumers a completely different option for holiday gifts this year,” says Kneen. “Everything deserves a little extra sparkle and glamour over the holiday season, so why not your wine too? It’s safe to say everyone on my list knows what they’re getting this year!”
