Cincoro Tequila – Cincoro is the passion project of basketball star Michael Jordan along with four rival NBA team owners who bonded over a shared love of top-shelf tequila. The botanically inspired bottle is a sleek representation of an agave leaf with a five-sided base. It curves at a 23-degree angle, an homage to Jordan’s jersey number. Cleverly, when 23 bottles are stacked together, they form a perfect circle the size of centre court. When the liquid gold is gone, it makes a gorgeous vase!

Papier D’Armenie Scented Burning Papers – During a trip to Armenia, French chemist Auguste Ponsot discovered the ancient art of burning benzoin resin as a disinfectant and home fragrance. Back in his Paris lab, he discovered a way to safely package the concept by diluting the resin with alcohol and imbuing fine strips of paper packed in booklets like matches. The original design of the booklets was inspired by the 1900 Paris Expo graphics, where his Papier d’Armenie captured the attention of pharmacists and the public alike. They also offer a starter box containing booklets of the three original scents, packaged in a box with striking 1960s styling.

Spice Walla – Created by a successful chef-turned-restaurateur, and beloved by home chefs everywhere, Spice Walla’s playful tins are inspired by Indian packaging, in particular large blocks of colours and bold lines interspersed with spontaneous illustrations and funny sayings in a sort of horror vacui style– a fear of empty space. The look is notable in Indian folk art, which is infused with images of gods and goddesses and gilded detailing. The over 125 spice offerings are all picked, processed and packed by hand.

Ramona Canned Spritzers – The brainchild of award-winning wine director and master sommelier Jordan Salcito, RAMONA is an elevated spritz experience sold in sustainable packaging at an affordable price. The design of these clever cans, which contain premium wines and real juice, is inspired by Russian Constructivism – the notion that great art belongs to everyone, and that art exists as much in posters plastered on the side of a dumpster as it does shuttered in the homes of elite collectors. Enjoy the drink, then save the cans to enjoy even longer. [Photo: Ramona]

Trois Rivières French Plantation Rum Cuvée de l’Océan – Trois Rivières Plantation has been an integral part of Martinique’s heritage for three centuries.

Cuvée de l’Océan is made solely from sugarcane grown on the waterfront of Anse Trabaud in the extreme south of the island. The striking blue bottle is an homage to the sea and the uniquely briny quality of this cuvée.

Rochelt – Tyrol, Austria is home to the ancient art of fruit distillery, first created as a natural remedy and a cure for isolation in the deep stretches of the Alpine Valley.

Maison Boissier – What began nearly 200 years ago as one young man’s dream to move to Paris and make candy is now practically synonymous with Paris itself.

The famed pétales de chocolat (chocolate petals), as decadent as they are delicate, come inside signature tins which were first released in the 1930s and are popular with collectors.
