Epoch Spirits was establish for the sole purpose of bringing light to the design movements that have brought us to where we are today. During each movement there has been a very specific Epoch that has stamped it in time forever. Our job is to capture that Epoch, and applaud its history with its very own unique label.

Epoch Spirits wants to speak on the tradition of where we have come from. It’s part history lesson, and part celebration of history. Each bottle is meant to be easy to understand, and the viewers should be able to match the style of design with a common design period. The styles being referenced are Foretell, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, & Russian Constructivism.

What’s Unique?
Epoch Spirits is unique because we were establish for the sole purpose of bringing light to the design movements that have brought us to where we are today. During each movement there has been a very specific Epoch that has stamped it in time forever. Our job is to capture that Epoch, and applaud its history with its very own unique label. My printing techniques involved Gold Foiling, Screen Printing, and Laser Cutting each of my individual labels.
