The brief was to design a family of bottles as off shelf solutions, beginning with smaller sized designs to suit the context of being carried around, easier to use and identifiable with the Unwritten brand. Unwritten products are ordered through an app by the stylist and are delivered directly to the customer, so there’s no holding of stock. It’s all part of a fresh purchasing system that makes selling salon exclusive products much easier, supporting freelance hairdressers who work from their homes, leased salons, or stylist houses.
