A Rain-Inspired Botanical and Bottle Design
HOLON introduced Rain alongside Sunny in April 2024. Its silver diagonal brushstrokes represent reflected light seen through a window on a rainy day, connecting the label to the botanical concept.
The brand's launch announcement suggests one part Rain to three parts soda water or pu-erh tea. These serving suggestions are specific to Rain; mixers are not included.
