Hunter Luxury combines elegance with pop culture romance in Regency Collection release

Hunter Luxury has launched the Regency Collection, designed to spark inspiration and provide a creative foundation for packaging designers, consists of three items: a vanity case, a cosmetics pouch, and a drawstring purse, also known as a reticule. The range draws from the style and setting of the Regency era, but also includes a contemporary edge inspired by period dramas.

The release wears its influences openly, using patterned powder blue slub satin and delicate gold detailing to combine the authentic feel of the Regency era with the stylised elegance seen in modern interpretations of the period. Each item demonstrates Hunter Luxury’s attention to detail; the drawstring purse uses a gold braided strap complete with era appropriate tassels, the cosmetic bag features a gold zip with a pearl effect puller, and the vanity case includes a soft touch lining and internal mirror. The end result is a singular vision brought to life; a concept that speaks to modern audiences looking for gift sets, discovery sets, and retail packs that deliver a sense of regal refinement and cultural relevance.

‘For me, the colours and the print are what stand out most,’ said Amanda Wakeling, product inspiration manager at Hunter Luxury. ‘Drawing on the Regency era, with its silks, rich colours, and elegant garden motifs, we have used powder blue shades and a delicate wisteria print to evoke the period’s aristocratic refinement – while keeping the look contemporary and wearable for today’s beauty consumer.

‘The items themselves also reference the era. The little drawstring purse can be worn as a crossbody – those were called reticules in the Regency period, when women used to carry these delicate silk purses when out promenading. That felt like a nice historical reference. And the vanity bag and cosmetic bag are all little luxuries with an aristocratic elegance, so we added a small pearl to the zip puller because pearls are very reminiscent of that era. It is all about elegance and classical femininity, translated for modern audiences rather than TV adaptations. We looked at what women valued in fashion at the time and then viewed it through a contemporary, glamorous lens.’

The Inspiration Collections support brands and packaging designers by demonstrating Hunter Luxury’s range of technical capabilities. Like other Inspirations products, every element of the Regency Collection can be tweaked and tailored to meet specific requirements. The products can also be supplied as is for white label applications. In both cases, they can dramatically speed up time to market by providing a creative framework for designers to work from.
