Brand Tone

Authentic, Urban/Streetwise, Confident & Bold, Relatable (to its niche), Slightly Edgy

Brand Values

• •Authenticity/Truth: Living one's "true story," being genuine.
• •Self-Expression: Fashion as a means to showcase individuality and personal narrative.
• •Connection to Los Angeles: Celebrating the culture, lifestyle, and spirit of LA.
• •Street Culture: Embracing the aesthetics, attitudes, and community of urban environments.
• •Originality: Offering unique designs that stand out.

Best Practices

• •Speak the Language of Your Audience: Use slang, cultural references (specifically LA-centric where appropriate), and a communication style that resonates with the target demographic interested in street culture and authentic expression. Avoid overly formal or corporate language.
• •Prioritize Authenticity: Let the "TruuStory" ethos guide all messaging. Be genuine, transparent, and avoid claims that feel inauthentic to the brand's street-level roots.
• •Embrace Visual Storytelling in Text: Use vivid language that paints a picture of the LA lifestyle. Words should complement the visual identity—raw, confident, and impactful.
• •Maintain a Confident, Not Arrogant, Stance: The tone should be self-assured and bold, reflecting the confidence of those who wear the brand, but avoid coming across as exclusionary or overly boastful.
• •Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure the tone is uniform, whether it's an Instagram caption, a product description on the website, email marketing, or customer service interactions. Create a simple brand voice guide if necessary for anyone writing copy.
