Brand Values

• •Craftsmanship & Artistry
• •Quality & Exclusivity
• •Sustainability & Ethical Production
• •Curation & Community
• •Cultural Respect

Best Practices

• •Lead with "Slow Fashion": Always anchor the brand in the "slow fashion" and "slow living" movements. Use this terminology consistently to differentiate from mainstream retail and attract a values-aligned audience.
• •Emphasize the Maker: Continuously tell the story of Leanne Coates as the designer and maker. Phrases like "designed and made in our Kyneton studio," "by the hands of our founder," and "part store, part studio" reinforce authenticity and craftsmanship.
• •Highlight Material Origins: Be specific about materials, especially "Japanese textiles" and "natural fibres." This detail adds to the perception of quality, sophistication, and transparency.
• •Use Mindful and Evocative Language: Employ words that evoke a sense of calm, intention, and artistry. Terms like "curated," "thoughtful," "timeless," "artisanal," and "conscious" will reinforce the brand's core values.
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Use copy to explain *why* the brand does what it does. Briefly explain the principles of slow fashion or the story behind a particular textile. This builds a deeper connection with the customer beyond a simple transaction and solidifies the brand's identity as a thoughtful curator.

Social Perception

Cavaletti Gallery is perceived as a niche, high-quality, and authentic brand, a destination for those interested in slow fashion and unique, handcrafted goods. The direct involvement of owner Leanne Coates is central to its appeal, with overwhelmingly positive feedback focusing on product quality and the unique in-store experience. However, the name "Cavaletti" can lead to confusion with unrelated equestrian brands.
