International Designer Iván Meade
Launches an Artisanal Chocolate Collection
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 31, 2024
VICTORIA, B.C. — Iván Meade expands his personal narrative in design with the introduction of a new line of chocolates. The Iván Meade Chocolate Collection combines the passions of great design and quality ingredients that always deliver an elegant experience. Each flavour profile showcases a pattern from Iván’s Surreal Representations couture pillowcase collection, balancing the elements of creativity, luxury, and elevated taste.
The chocolate bars are lovingly made in small batches by the artisanal chocolatiers Wallace Craft Chocolates in Victoria BC. Each chocolate is hand-crafted using high-quality ingredients that are sourced locally where possible – and are organic, fair-trade, and premium products.
“As a self-proclaimed foodie, quality and variety in flavours and ingredients is of the utmost importance to me. I can feel confident about having my name on a product that is not only delicious and organic but promotes a local business.”

For the adventurous, you can try each flavour with the purchase of “The Collection” a limited-edition package featuring all six deluxe flavours. The collection has an added ‘feel-good’ benefit, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to Testicular Cancer Canada. The “Palate Tempter”, a pack of 3 flavours, is also available. Any offering is a great opportunity to have a taste-testing experience. Each bar includes suggested whiskey and wine pairings inside the package.
