A Sweet Transformation for DOLCE FELICE
DOLCE FELICE, the beloved sweets brand created by KEYUCA, is stepping into a new era with a fresh rebranding initiative that was officially announced on October 1. The goal of this transformation is to create a unique blend of living solutions and delightful confections, making the ordinary moments sweeter and more enjoyable for everyone.
Brand Evolution
DOLCE FELICE was born from a simple customer request at the first KEYUCA store, located in Honmoku. The brand's name means "happy sweets" in Italian, embodying the mission to bring smiles and happiness to as many customers as possible through delicious desserts. As the brand developed, it evolved from a café feature in 2002 into a fully independent retailer by 2009, highlighting its success and popularity.
KEYUCA, known for its lifestyle solutions across clothing, food, and housing, recognized that DOLCE FELICE should be a vital component of its “food” segment. With this new vision for the brand, DOLCE FELICE's rebranding has been carried out to elevate its product offerings.
A New Concept
The tagline for the rebranding is, "Tea time is happiness." This ethos reflects the desire to accompany customers during their everyday routines with treats that enhance their leisure moments. The products will resonate with consumers, making their daily experiences more enjoyable and memorable.
An Integrated Product Range
DOLCE FELICE's product lineup is thoughtfully categorized into three main lines to cater to various life situations:
1.
Petit ($1.85 to $6.00)
- Perfect for everyday snacking, these bite-sized baked goods are ideal for enjoying at work or school.
2.
Gift ($10.80 to $36.60)
- These beautifully packaged gifts are perfect for returning home or attending gatherings as a token of appreciation.
3.
Dessert ($3.60 and up, store exclusive)
- These premium fresh confections, made with seasonal fruits, are ideal for dessert after meals.
Revamped Packaging Design
The rebranding also places a strong emphasis on packaging design. Each product's packaging is now more cohesive and striking, featuring floral motifs to evoke moments of tranquility and charm in everyday life. The design aims to provide a heartfelt experience akin to gifting a bouquet of flowers, enhancing the overall joy of gifting confectioneries.
