The collection is an exhibition of the most iconic moments across the six decades of Bond; each decade encapsulated on its own packaging. Bringing to life the innovations and inventions of James Bond across the years, the packaging has been colour washed with one of the trending colours of the decade it represents.

DECADE I

The 1960s was a singular decade for James Bond. The debut of the suave spy icon onto the silver screen in 1962 was embodied by the inimitable Sean Connery, who went on to appear in six films across the next ten years. Resting only when George Lazenby starred inOn Her Majestys Secret Servicein 1969, Sir Sean was to roar back in triumph in 1971sDiamonds Are Forever.

The pack design includes sketches fromGoldfinger(1964),You Only Live Twice(1967) where Little Nellie is in a combat sequence, and the dummy jet pack worn by Bond inThunderball(1965).
