Cadbury, a chocolate company that's synonymous with Creme Eggs, may now also be associated with unusual, handmade fashion thanks to a collaboration with up-and-coming sustainable designer Charlotte Kirkham of Rua Carlota.
Inspired by the brand's iconic Creme Egg, the designer created the Piece de Resistance collection to coincide with the How Do You Not Eat Yours competition featuring a limited number of half milk and half white chocolate Creme Eggs hidden in stores across the UK. The three-piece collection features pre-loved materials and a familiar color palette. There's a balaclava with no mouth, a pair of oversized mittens, and an endless sleeved top—all of which have been intentionally designed to deter chocolate lovers from eating the eggs. The idea behind the collection is to help the lucky fans who find the winning eggs resist the temptation to eat them to claim a cash prize of up to £10,000.
