Brand Values

• •Support for American Artisans
• •Quality Craftsmanship
• •Art in Everyday Life
• •Heritage & Tradition

Best Practices

• •Emphasize "American Artisans" and "Handcrafted": These are key differentiators and should be woven into product descriptions, social media posts, and all communications.
• •Maintain a Warm, Welcoming, and Slightly Nostalgic Voice: Reflect the shop's history and the friendly in-store experience. Use inviting language.
• •Tell Stories: Highlight the artists (where possible and appropriate) or the inspiration behind items. Focus on how these pieces can become part of the customer's own story and daily rituals.
• •Focus on the "Usable Art" Concept: Connect the beauty of the items to their functionality and how they enrich everyday life.
• •Be Authentic and Community-Focused: Engage genuinely with the community online, share the shop's local heritage, and reflect the passion for craftsmanship that has defined the brand for decades.
