← Work Case study · Jeronimo Martins Polska / Biedronka

A fashion brand built from the ground up for retail scale.

CLEVÉ is a complete fashion brand created for Poland's largest retail chain — from strategy and naming to identity, a full packaging system and photography. A brand that had to work as one coherent system from day one.

CLEVÉ — a complete fashion-brand system: packaging and identity across many product categories
CLEVÉ — a complete fashion-brand system
01 · Context

We knew the brand before we changed it.

Before CLEVÉ, we had worked for years with Tom & Rose — Biedronka's previous fashion brand — across communication, packaging, content production, digital and campaigns. We entered the project with real knowledge of the category and the customer.

02 · The challenge

The brief started with a refresh. The challenge was bigger.

The brand needed to be clearer, more visible, more contemporary and more scalable — keeping existing customers while opening up to a younger audience.

  1. Strengthen brand recognition
  2. Improve packaging visibility
  3. Make product choice easier
  4. Support a broader assortment
  5. Stay consistent across formats
  6. Work at national-retail speed
03 · Strategic move

From refresh to rebrand.

After strategic analysis, we recommended a full rebrand rather than a cosmetic update. The opportunity wasn’t to improve the old brand — it was to build a clearer, stronger and more scalable one.

  1. Starting point Tom & Rose An existing fashion brand due for a refresh.
  2. The turn Strategic analysis Category, consumer and retail reality reassessed.
  3. Outcome CLEVÉ A new fashion brand, built from the ground up.
What began as a refresh became a full brand-creation project.
04 · Naming

A name built to work beyond the concept stage.

We developed a broad naming field and screened selected directions for EUIPO registration potential. The chosen name — CLEVÉ — gave the brand a short, distinctive and ownable identity: premium fashion cues, simple enough for mass retail, distinctive enough to build a brand around.

Brand idea

CLEVÉ was built around a simple promise: style and quality within reach — contemporary and attractive, never distant or exclusive.

01

Accessibility

Style that stays within reach — no compromise in the everyday choice.

02

Quality

Good quality as a standard, not an oversized promise.

03

Contemporary style

A current fashion language, legible to a broad audience.

04

Trust

Consistency and confidence that build an everyday relationship.

05 · Identity system

One identity. Many categories.

CLEVÉ needed a visual system flexible enough to work across women, men, kids, leather, accessories and special lines — without losing recognition. Clear, modular and scalable: from a single SKU to a full retail assortment.

One system — many categories and formats
06 · Packaging system

Packaging that had to sell, explain and scale.

Without a fitting room, the pack does the work — showing the product and building brand presence on shelf. We designed it as one consistent, repeatable system across the assortment.

  • CLEVÉ packaging — leggings

One packaging system across the assortment

07 · Information hierarchy

Every pack is a decision-making tool.

We designed the information hierarchy so a customer at the shelf understands, in seconds, what they are holding and why it is worth it.

  1. Brand block
  2. Size hierarchy
  3. Product name & translation
  4. Material & benefit icons
  5. Model & product presentation
  6. Multilingual information
  7. Barcode / technical area
08 · Art direction

The product had to be understood at first sight.

Photography wasn’t decoration — it was part of the information system. The art direction showed the product clearly, consistently and in a way that builds the brand.

CLEVÉ art direction — dress product presentation
CLEVÉ art direction — pattern and fabric texture detail
CLEVÉ art direction — menswear in a product frame
CLEVÉ art direction — knitwear in a product frame
09 · Outcome

A complete brand system, ready for real retail.

From strategy and naming to identity, packaging, photography and production-ready assets — now in use across Poland and Portugal.

  • Scalable packaging & identity
  • Clearer product architecture
  • Consistent across categories
