Alongside giving sweets, giving

with the world renowned Ash Kumar
to create a bespoke box for these
occasions, was something Thorntons
was perfectly positioned to do,”

wanted to create something that
would be truly in keeping with the
festivals and henna is an integral
part of the celebrations, so working
with the world’s greatest henna

partnership. Ash Kumar is the most
famous henna artist in the world
and we’re delighted to be incorporating
his designs onto one of our most
popular boxes of chocolates.”

henna is about creating looks to
boost self esteem and create wonders
for the camera. My signature designs

the first place to come to mind.
The art of gifting is something
the Asian community pride themselves
on, why not give them something
to be even more so…Ash Kumar
designed Thorntons Classics chocolate
