Chez Sophie

A bakery brand carried by illustrated sleeves and real paper.

The brief

Chez Sophie is a bakery with a French heart and a local address. The identity leans on illustration and paper instead of the usual patisserie clip art.

The idea

Wrap the product. Illustrated sleeves and simple paper bags turn a takeaway loaf into a small piece of theatre.

The problem

French bakery cues are exhausted, so the brand needed a fresh accent.

Packaging had to be cheap to produce and joyful to hold.

What we did

  • A hand-drawn illustration system with strong silhouettes
  • A paper-first packaging set that photographs beautifully
  • Retail and menu applications that carry the same warmth
