Jacek was born from your two great passions of fashion design and chocolate (fantastic choices), how did you come to the conclusion that these worlds could and definitely should collide?

When I started the business back in 2009, I definitely thought that fashion and chocolate should collide, but I definitely did not know the effect that them colliding could have over the last decade.  I thought that they could/should collide because we eat with our eyes, so it made sense to me to marry the visual art of fashion to food.

What was your original vision when you first started the brand, and does it still remain the same today?

Yes, the original vision of spreading joy through a fine, fashion-inspired chocolate is still very much the same.

What’s your biggest source of inspiration?

The people; from our customers, so our team to our suppliers, especially the cocoa farmers.

Your current favourite pieces from the Jacek collection?

We just launched the Spring Collection today, and my favorite is probably the Lemon Meringue.

Our 2023 Motto is all about evolving routine into ritual. Do you have any daily rituals that help keep you grounded through what we can only imagine are very busy days?

Yes, I always close the day with a listing the items that I am grateful for. I always find this very grounding as it offers a lot of perspective, especially on the more challenging days.

What's next on the horizon for Jacek?

We are currently trying to figure out the best path forward to spread more joy to more people through fine chocolate, and we have some big ideas for next year that are not quite ready to share yet.
