Best Practices

• •Emphasize Storytelling: Every product and designer has a narrative. Focus on bringing these stories to the forefront, highlighting the 'why' and 'how' behind each piece.
• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language: Describe textures, materials, and the feeling of the products. Words like 'artisanal,' 'handcrafted,' 'considered,' 'timeless,' and 'unique' align well with the brand.
• •Maintain a Sophisticated yet Accessible Voice: The language should be intelligent and appreciative of design but avoid overly academic or exclusive jargon. The goal is to inspire and inform, not intimidate.
• •Champion Independence and Craftsmanship: Consistently reiterate the brand's commitment to independent designers, quality materials, and meticulous making processes. This reinforces core values.
• •Be Authentic and Passionate: Let the genuine appreciation for design and unique items shine through. The copy should feel like it's written by someone who truly loves and understands the products they are presenting. A job posting specifically mentioned adapting to the brand's ethos.
