Brand Tone

Sophisticated, Elegant, Aspirational, and Welcoming.

Brand Values

• •Curated Excellence: The core of the brand is the "curated" selection of items, hand-picked by design professionals. This implies a high standard of quality, style, and discernment.
• •Elevated Lifestyle: The brand aims to help customers elevate their everyday lives and personal style through thoughtfully designed and selected products. "Believing that design is an immediate reflection of who we are and style expression is just as important as your home."
• •Sophistication and Elegance: The products and overall brand presentation emphasize a refined, cultured, and sophisticated aesthetic.
• •Coastal Inspiration/Lowcountry Lifestyle: There's a distinct influence of coastal living, particularly the "Lowcountry lifestyle," in both the home decor and apparel collections. This suggests a blend of comfort, style, and a connection to a specific, desirable way of life.
• •Passion for Design & Fashion: The brand is born from Kelly Caron's personal passion for interior design and fashion. This authentic enthusiasm is a driving force.
• •Customer-Centric Approach: Striving to make the shopping experience the best possible and understanding customer needs, such as varying brand sizing.
• •Creativity, Passion, and Respect: These are stated values of the Kelly Caron Designs team, which extends to the curated brand.

Best Practices

• •Embrace "Elevated" and "Curated" Language: Consistently use words that evoke sophistication, quality, and a discerning eye (e.g., "meticulously selected," "designer edit," "hand-picked," "sophisticated," "elegant," "cultured," "refined," "timeless").
• •Highlight the "Why": Connect products back to the core brand value of elevating lifestyle and personal expression. Explain how an item contributes to a more beautiful, stylish, or welcoming environment, reflecting Kelly's vision that "design is an immediate reflection of who we are."
• •Maintain a Warm and Welcoming Undercurrent: While sophisticated, the tone should also feel approachable and inspiring, not intimidating. Phrases like "welcoming aesthetic" and "undeniably fun" (for apparel) can be woven in.
• •Incorporate Storytelling and Passion: Share the inspiration behind collections or specific pieces, perhaps tying back to Kelly Caron's design philosophy or the Lowcountry lifestyle. This adds authenticity and a personal touch.
• •Visual-Verbal Harmony: Ensure the copy complements the high-quality, aspirational imagery used across platforms. The words should paint a picture that aligns with the visual promise of luxury and style. Social media posts should remain "vibrant and engaging."
