Brand Story:
ZAWADI is a luxury organic skincare brand inspired by the spices and botanicals of Zanzibar. The name means "Gift" in Swahili.
The brief was to create a brand that feels expensive, calm, and African — but not too cultural or traditional. It should sit next to Dior and Aesop, not in a souvenir shop.
Logo:
Custom wordmark using Cormorant Garamond Thin. Letter "Z" slightly enlarged to create a subtle luxury monogram. Wide letter-spacing (300) to communicate elegance.

• Off-White #F9F6F0 - Main background, purity
• Clay Brown #8C6A5B - Secondary, earthiness of Zanzibar
• Deep Black #1A1A1A - For premium packaging
