Bombay Sapphire Artist's Edition
Label Artwork | 2024
Role: Key Illustrator / Named Artist Collaboration
Illustration: Maggie Enterrios | Design: Knockout
I was tapped by BOMBAY SAPPHIRE to illustrate a limited-edition label, inspired by the 100% sustainably sourced botanicals at the heart of its iconic gin, highlighting the brand’s mission to pioneer a more sustainable future.
My name and artwork appeared on the bottle,
making me the first female artist to receive full packaging credit on an Artist’s Edition release.
I illustrated the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE botanicals at different growth stages: seeds, blossoms and flowers in full bloom.
I wanted the design to feel like looking through the bottle straight into the soul of the gin: its botanical make-up. The design is meant to be a representation of the taste and a celebration of aromatics, all intertwined and bursting with movement.
I was inspired by the connection that BOMBAY SAPPHIRE has with its suppliers and growers, and I loved hearing the stories of where their botanicals are sourced. The whole project resonated with me deeply.
To me, it felt like a way to honour craftsmanship: the craft of the farmers who grow the botanicals, the craft that goes into the vapour infusion process and the craft of creating a meticulous piece of artwork.
