Brand Tone

Honest and Transparent, Purposeful and Principled, Accessible and Down-to-Earth, Confident and Knowledgeable, Understated and Classic, Community-Oriented

Brand Values

• •Ethical Production: Ensuring fair wages, good working conditions, and respect for garment workers.
• •British Manufacturing & Local Job Creation: A primary goal is to support and rejuvenate the British textile and garment industry, providing skilled jobs in UK communities.
• •Quality & Durability: Creating well-made, lasting garments designed for everyday wear, countering the throwaway culture of fast fashion.
• •Affordability & Value: Making ethically produced, high-quality clothing accessible to a broader audience by maintaining lean operations and fair pricing.
• •Simplicity & Timeless Design: Focusing on essential, classic pieces rather than fast-changing trends.
• •Transparency: Being open about where and how their clothes are made.
• •Sustainability (Practical): While not overtly an "eco-brand" in the activist sense, their model promotes sustainability through durable products, reduced waste (by making to last), local production (reducing transport miles), and often using natural fibres.

Best Practices

• •Prioritize Honesty and Clarity: Always be straightforward. Avoid jargon, hype, or misleading claims. Clearly communicate the "who, what, where, and why" behind your products.
• •Lead with Purpose: Weave the mission (supporting UK factories, ethical production, community) into your messaging. Explain why the brand exists, not just what it sells.
• •Emphasize "We," Not Just "You": While customer benefit is important, reinforce the collective aspect – "we" are working together with factories and customers to make a difference. This fosters a sense of shared values.
• •Keep it Grounded and Real: Reflect the everyday, practical nature of the clothing. The language should be approachable and relatable, not aspirational in a luxury sense, but aspirational in terms of values.
• •Champion Quality and Durability Over Trends: Focus copy on the lasting nature, craftsmanship, and timeless style of the garments, positioning them as wise investments rather than fleeting fashion statements.
