Brand Tone

Aspirational, warm, sophisticated, elevated yet approachable, mindful and intentional, and story-driven.

Brand Values

• •Timelessness
• •Quality and Craftsmanship
• •Curation and Intentionality
• •Simple Elegance

Best Practices

• •Lead with Feeling, Follow with Fact: Start copy with the emotion or experience the product enables (e.g., 'the warmth of a shared meal') before detailing its features (e.g., 'made from solid oak').
• •Use a Refined Vocabulary: Employ words like 'curated,' 'artisanal,' 'timeless,' 'intentional,' and 'crafted' to reinforce brand values. Avoid generic, sales-heavy language like 'hot deal' or 'buy now.'
• •Tell the Story: Whenever possible, include a sentence about the product's origin, the material it's made from, or the artisan who made it. This adds value beyond the physical object itself.
• •Maintain a Consistent Voice Across All Channels: The sophisticated, warm tone used on the website should be the same in Instagram captions, customer service emails, and even product packaging text. Create a simple brand voice guide to ensure consistency.
• •Focus on 'Investment' over 'Purchase': Frame the customer's transaction not as a simple purchase, but as an investment in their home and quality of life. Use phrases like 'add to your collection' or 'begin your story' to elevate the call-to-action.
