Project Overview

The Project

Spice Routes Kerala is a premium F&B brand celebrating the rich culinary heritage of Kerala’s spice trade. dhub partnered with the founders to build a complete brand identity that captures the warmth, authenticity, and heritage of Kerala spices — from the logo to the packaging on the shelf.

The Challenge

What we faced

The founders came to us with strong product but no brand. The existing competitors all looked the same — generic green packaging, cliché spice imagery, and unclear positioning. Spice Routes needed an identity that would stand out in both local Kerala retail and international export markets, while telling a story rooted in the region’s 2000-year spice trade history.

Our Solution

How we solved it

We built the brand around the concept of “the journey of flavor.” Our logo combines the geometry of a compass rose with the silhouette of a pepper vine, rendered in deep saffron and turmeric tones. Packaging features hand-illustrated botanical art and typography inspired by ancient trade documents. Every touchpoint — from the 80-page brand guidelines to retail shelf collateral — reinforces a premium, authentic positioning.
