Guylian to present sustainable travel retail innovations at TFWA Cannes
Guylian's Original Seashells
Belgian chocolate brand Guylian is putting a sustainable stamp on its travel retail range with its new premium collections. It will present its innovations at the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes. With two new premium assortment boxes, namely Les Exclusives (327g) and Belgian Seashells Collection (362g), and the revamped Multi-pack (474g), Guylian meets the specific needs of travelers.
Partly thanks to the relaunch of the Guylian Master's Selection at Cannes last year, Guylian's travel retail range is successfully finding its way into the premium chocolate category. Earlier this year, Guylian introduced the Dark Praliné Seashells to mark the brand's 65th anniversary. The Dark Praliné Seashells are an intense variation on the classic recipe, filled with dark praliné made from in-house roasted hazelnuts and coated in 72% dark Belgian chocolate from 100% Fairtrade cocoa.
Since its rebranding in 2022, the travel retail range can be recognized by its blue-green color referring to the North Sea, where the founders got their inspiration for chocolate seashells in 1958, the famous Brussels skyline in the background as well as the 'traveler's exclusive' stamp on the packaging.
Sven Adriaenssens, Senior Channel Manager Travel Retail & Duty Free at Guylian, said, "Besides a significant expansion of the Travel Retail range - no less than 15 products today - we have also adapted the packaging to the specific needs of travelers with a clear distinction in weight compared to traditional markets (250g)."

Les Exclusives

Belgian Seashells Collection
This Belgian Seashells Collection is a combination of the Original and Dark Praliné Seashells. For those who like to alternate between the iconic Original Seashells (recognizable by the three-colored marbling of white, dark and milk chocolate) and the intensely dark praline filling of the Dark Praliné Seashells, made from roasted hazelnuts and coated in 72% dark Belgian chocolate from 100% Fairtrade cocoa.

The renewed Multi-pack combines the Original Seashells with the brand new Dark Praliné Seashells.
