In-Store and Out of the Box, Eataly Exemplifies a Luxury Brand

A great brand should be a feast for the senses. That's true of creating a reputation for almost any product, but it's absolutely essential when what you're selling is luxury food and drink.

Enter Eataly...

The gourmet Italian marketplace will open another expansive location next month, this time in Boston. After starting life in Turin almost a decade ago, the brand quickly expanded across the Atlantic, finding two homes in New York City and another in Chicago.

Covering more than 100,000 square feet of floor space between them, it's easier to think of Eataly in warehouse terms, rather than retail or restaurant space. That being said, all of that room is required to do justice to an ambitious brand concept.

The company takes the core elements of artisanal food stores, Italian marketplaces, and high-end dining establishments, then blends them into one unique experience. A sense of quality and authenticity runs throughout the space, which in turn lends a sense of luxury.

The brand extends beyond the in-store experience, of course, and that luxury appeal needs to go with it.

The Look of Luxury

Eataly is close to our hearts - or, more accurately, our stomachs! - not only because we're so close to them in New York City, but because we're privileged to have a hand in their packaging assignments.

With so many luxury products, gift boxes are a natural extension of the Eataly brand. We're more than happy to assemble them and, as you can see from the images below, there are many fans that would be salivating at the prospect of receiving one.

On behalf of the entire team at Capacity, we wish the Eataly crew all the best for opening in Boston next month. If we didn't have two locations on our doorstep, you can bet your bottom dollar we'd be making the journey north for opening day!
