That Iconic Packaging: The Story Behind Crown Royal’s Purple Bag

Since its creation, Crown Royal's distinctive purple bags have been an iconic part of its presentation, a tradition that began with its launch. The brand was introduced by Seagram’s executive and visionary, Samuel Bronfman, as a tribute to the 1939 royal tour of Canada by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.

To create a whiskey fit for royalty, Seagram's experimented with over 600 blends, ultimately selecting the finest one for its distinguished taste. The chosen blend was then elegantly bottled in a specially designed cut glass decanter and encased in a luxurious purple bag with gold accents. To honor the royal visit, ten cases of this exquisite whiskey were placed on the royal train, accompanying the monarchs on their cross-country journey.

The Purple Bag Project

Crown Royal has always believed in giving back, deciding to honor American military heroes for their service. Instead of giving mere gestures of respect, Crown Royal wanted to provide something impactful as a token of gratitude for the sacrifices made by these individuals.

This led to the inception of The Purple Bag Project, an initiative that repurposes Crown Royal's iconic purple bags into care packages for soldiers and veterans. These packages serve as reminders of appreciation and support – a tangible way to thank them for their service. In collaboration with Packages from Home, a national charity partner, The Purple Bag Project has evolved into a widespread project to care for those who serve the country.

Since its start in 2010, The Purple Bag Project has packed and distributed over one million purple bags to soldiers and veterans, filled with essentials to offer comfort and a piece of home. Driven by Crown Royal’s core value of generosity, the project is on a mission to continue this support, setting a goal to pack two million bags by 2030.
