Editorial colour cosmetics for the after-hours consumer.

Nocturne came to us as a fashion-house colour line searching for a distinct commercial identity. We rebuilt the brand around a single, ownable moment: after dark. Then we redesigned the top-of-funnel to sell that moment.

The brief

A colour line with taste, but no throughline.

The house had product, distribution, and beautiful campaigns — but no reason a consumer would return. We audited the assortment, killed the SKUs that diluted the story, and rebuilt around a hero ritual: the after-dark palette.

What we did

Positioning, pack redesign, and a new commerce stack.

  • Brand strategy
  • Packaging redesign
  • Editorial photography
  • DTC replatform
  • Wholesale playbook

The result

Revenue up 3.4x in year one, with a lower SKU count.

We shipped the rebrand in four months. AOV rose from $42 to $71, repeat purchase rate doubled, and Nocturne is now the fastest-moving line in its category at two national retailers.
