Vilka Agency Creates Cross-Cultural Packaging Narratives for Korean Home Care Detergent Brand Our Herb Story

Vilka Agency Creates Cross-Cultural Packaging Narratives for Korean Home Care Detergent Brand Our Herb Story

For the Korean laundry detergent brand Our Herb Story, VILKA Agency developed two complementary visual directions that demonstrate how packaging can translate both function and emotion into a coherent on‑shelf language.

One path employed concise iconography of washing machines and garments to bypass language barriers and clarify use at a glance, supported by a bold yet minimal pairing of purple and muted acid green that asserts presence in a crowded aisle while remaining controlled and legible.

The other drew on images of crystal‑like peaks and still, reflective waters to transform the idea of deep cleaning into a metaphor of untouched Korean landscapes.

The designers’ goal was to transfer the notions of purity and tranquility from concept to surface so that the pack becomes a quiet promise of care rather than a purely technical container. Each line, symbol, and color field is treated as a visible extension of the product’s role in everyday life.

The agency has ensured that the design choices serve usability and recognition while also offering a more poetic reading of what a detergent can represent in the home.

Orchestrating packaging systems seamlessly seems easy. But for a brand to travel between categories and cultures while remaining rooted in local stories is not. From crystal peaks to nuanced color coding, each detail should be treated as a narrative device rather than mere decoration.

The result is packaging that not only stands out on the shelf but also extends the brand’s promises of trust, purity, and well-being into tangible, everyday objects.
