Offering a luxury advent calendar is consistent with their brand positioning and target audience. Luxury advent calendars have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many high-end brands creating their own versions. These calendars often feature a selection of luxury products, such as cosmetics, skincare, fragrance, and sometimes even fashion accessories, with one item revealed each day leading up to Christmas.
These calendars can be seen as a fun and indulgent way to countdown to Christmas and to treat oneself or loved ones with high-end products. As a luxury retailer, Net-a-Porter is catering to their customer's desire for premium products and experiences, including offering a luxury advent calendar as a seasonal offering.
Net-a-porter has released a new luxury advent calendar for 2021, and it is truly a sight to behold. The advent calendar is made from a 2 piece rigid board, with doors that are stuck onto the solid tray. The external dimensions of the calendar are 460mm wide x 44mm height x 160mm depth, making it a substantial size.
The calendar features a wide cross grain ribbon bow that runs through the front to the back slots, which are 40mm wide. The oval shape of the slots gives the calendar a unique and elegant look. When you open the doors, they hinge back nicely, revealing the treasures inside. This rigid board luxury advent calendar is the perfect way to count down the days until the holidays in style.
The 25 box drawers inside are intricately designed to ensure that the contents inside are safe and secure. The internal boxes come in different sizes and are made from 1.5mm rigid board, providing a sturdy foundation for the products to rest on. Each box is wrapped in a basic white paper and has a foiled number on it for easy identification. The grey board lining inside is white, adding a touch of elegance to the design. The shredded paper inside the box matches the color of the box, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.
The compartments inside the box are separated using 3mm rigid board dividers, which have also been wrapped to match the outer box. The heavy weight-sturdy inner tray inside the outer case adds an extra layer of protection to the products. Overall, the design and construction of the boxes are of high quality and ensure that the products inside are well protected during transportation.
The addition of rigid board panels on the inside of the doors adds a touch of luxury to the overall design. These panels are made of a single piece of board with printed designs on top, and they are stuck securely onto the door surface. One door even includes a stick-on slot for an information booklet, which is a clever and convenient feature. The white raised foiling on the black print creates a 3D effect that enhances the visual appeal of the panels.
Moreover, the outside material has a matte black Wibalin style that is slightly textured, providing a durable and long-lasting finish that does not easily mark or scratch. The branding is prominently displayed on the top of the panels with a matte black finish and raised white foiling for the logo, further adding to the luxurious feel. Additionally, spot UV has been used to highlight specific areas of the design, creating a stylish and sophisticated look.
