• •Lead with a Story: Every piece of copy, from a social media post to a product description, should connect back to the brand's core story—the fusion of African heritage and Australian craftsmanship.
• •Use Vibrant & Empowering Language: Employ strong, positive, and evocative words. Terms like "celebrate," "bold," "vibrant," "empower," "fierce," and "handcrafted" should be staples in the brand's vocabulary.
• •Always Highlight Core Values: Consistently mention key values like "slow fashion," "ethically sourced," and "sustainably made" to reinforce the brand's commitment and educate the consumer.
• •Speak to the "Why": Don't just sell a product; sell the feeling and the principles behind it. Explain why the prints are special, why slow fashion matters, and why ethical production is non-negotiable.
• •Maintain a Consistent Visual and Textual Tone: Ensure that the bright, bold, and celebratory nature of the visuals is perfectly matched by the energetic and empowering tone of the copy across all platforms.
