Bungalow 8









On more things I’ve been meaning to post for a while. Here’s a brilliantly fun idea… how do you take a normally boring average looking bottled Magners Pear Cider and elevate (or catapult) its status instantly? Give the awesome Bungalow 8 in London an exclusive stunning bottle that is only available there, and only 500 bottles are produced. The new design was created for Magners by their brand entertainment agency, Cake. They were even kind enough to send one over so i could take a look at it in person - and its lovely! Its a sleek black bottle with 5 gloss silver sticker stripes wrapping the bottle and the Bungalow 8 ‘8’ etched in the silver pear. Honestly, it’s hard to look at the original bottle the same way after seeing and holding this. Actually, it’s hard to look at any cider or beer the same. Why don’t they all look this stunningly designed?
 
Here’s a great quote from Amy Sacco, founder of Bungalow 8: “Magners Pear Cider bottled exclusively for Bungalow 8 London is probably the coolest bottle to be seen with this season! As we are not allowed to let bottles leave the premises it has caused quite a stir……I have noticed the girls are all carrying larger handbags and trying to make off with the empties! I don’t blame them! The all black glass bottle with silver “disco ball-esque stripes” and t
he embossed 8 hidden inside the pear is so sexy that I have had cases sent to my flat in NYC and am working on an installation with a few of my local favorite artisans"

Amy.. I need a case of this as well!
