Make a little room for a big brand story with this Darlie youth hoodie. Launched in Shanghai in the 1930s as Darkie, the oral care brand adopted the English name Darlie in 1989, when its packaging image also changed. Hawley & Hazel is headquartered in Taiwan, and the brand's history reflects its long focus on Asian markets. A Chinese-name transition was announced for 2022, adding another milestone for collectors interested in how names and packaging record a company's evolving identity.
Darlie is an oral care brand owned and manufactured by Hawley & Hazel, a company headquartered in Taiwan. The brand began as Darkie in Shanghai in the 1930s and has focused on Asian markets. Colgate-Palmolive acquired a 50 percent equity stake in Hawley & Hazel in 1985. Following that investment, the brand continued to be sold in several Asian countries, while Colgate-Palmolive stated it would not be sold outside Asia. In 1989, the English brand name changed from Darkie to Darlie, and the packaging image was altered. The Chinese name remained unchanged at that time. On June 19, 2020, Colgate-Palmolive announced a review of the brand, including its name. On December 14, 2021, Hawley & Hazel announced that the Chinese name would change from 黑人牙膏 to 好來 beginning in March 2022, aligning it with the subsidiary company name. The brand's original flavor was mint. The source also reports historical market-share figures for Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and describes Darlie as a bestselling toothpaste brand in its target markets in late 2018.
