Approach

Ruk was derived from the word “Rukmani” which was the name of the founder’s grandmother’s fashion boutique in Bombay, India We created the brand identity drawing inspiration from the distinct features of the "Devnagri" type, which serves as a tribute to its heritage and the story behind its name. In a bold departure from conventional industry norms, the packaging embraces a sleek and contemporary design, deliberately avoiding the usual softer pastels. Instead, it introduces a striking color palette, directly influenced by the fragrances themselves.
