Touchland
/ OVERVIEW
We follow our heroine’s morning commute, racing for the train, bag charms swinging, her Touchland mist clipped to her bag. Character design was central from day one. The team focused on creating a fashion-conscious, expressive protagonist who felt aspirational but effortless - true to the women who already carry Touchland in their bags.
