Case Study: Custom-Coloured Planters for Chappers — A Kolhapuri Icon

When Chappers approached us with a very specific and meaningful request, we knew this project would be different.
Their new store concept embraced a bold, vibrant visual identity, and they wanted planters that matched that energy perfectly.


🎨 The Requirement: A Colour That Defines Their Brand

Chappers shared a reference of a very specific shade:

RAL 1026 – Luminous Yellow

This wasn’t just a colour preference —
it was a core part of their brand story.

  • Their logo carried this yellow
  • Their interiors carried this yellow
  • And now, their planters needed to complete the visual identity

🪴 Choosing the Right Planter: VRITTI

For a compact retail environment, the planter needed to be:

  • Small
  • Minimal
  • Modern
  • Elegant enough to sit inside a luxury store without overpowering the footwear

They selected our VRITTI planter — the ideal match for:

  • Small store layouts
  • Clean and understated interiors
  • Highlighting greenery without disturbing retail visual hierarchy

VRITTI delivered exactly what they needed:
quiet design, maximum impact.


🛠️ The Customisation Challenge: Perfecting RAL 1026

Achieving this shade was not simple.

Instead of using a flat yellow, we engineered a finish with:

Subtle black speckles
— offering a premium stone-like texture
— avoiding a shiny plasticky appearance
— giving it a crafted, elegant finish

To get the colour and texture exactly right, we:

  • Created multiple sample iterations
  • Adjusted speckle density
  • Matched final output to store lighting conditions

The Chappers team patiently collaborated with us through every stage —
trusting our process from start to finish.


📦 Scale of the Project: 40 Custom Planters

This order wasn’t small.

They needed:
40 customised VRITTI planters
— each perfectly colour-matched, each crafted with precision.

Most manufacturers wouldn’t take on custom-colour orders for such quantities.

But as a local Pune manufacturer, Neptune Planters has a unique advantage:

We take on projects others won’t.
Because for us, every project is personal.


🚚 On-Time Delivery — Ahead of Schedule

The store opening deadline was tight.

Not only did we meet the timeline —
we delivered all 40 planters well before the deadline.


🌼 The Final Result

The custom-made luminous yellow VRITTI planters:

  • Blended seamlessly into the store’s bold interior theme
  • Added a refreshing burst of energy
  • Provided a natural green balance to the striking footwear displays
  • Completed Chappers’ brand narrative beautifully

🌱 At Neptune Planters, custom isn’t complicated.

It’s our culture.

If you have a colour, moodboard, texture, or vision
we’ll bring it to life.
