Brand Tone

aspirational, passionate, and community-centric

Brand Values

• •Quality & Craftsmanship
• •Exclusivity
• •Authenticity & Niche Passion
• •Community
• •Style as Self-Expression

Best Practices

• •Speak the Language of the Community: Use terminology and references that resonate with the anime and streetwear communities (e.g., naming items after concepts like 'Oni' or 'Sakura'). This builds authenticity and trust.
• •Lead with Quality: In all copy, from product descriptions to social media captions, reinforce the value of craftsmanship. Use words like "premium," "heavyweight," "detailed embroidery," and "built to last" to justify the price point and build confidence.
• •Foster Exclusivity and Urgency: Consistently use phrases like "Limited Drop," "Few Left," and "Don't Miss Out" in your marketing. This drives immediate action and enhances the perceived value of the products.
• •Balance Hype with Humility: While it's important to build excitement, maintain a humble, community-focused tone. Frame customers as "family" or "members" and show appreciation for their support through user-generated content features and interactive posts.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Cohesion: Ensure the clean, aspirational, and slightly edgy tone of the visuals is mirrored in the copy. The text should be confident and direct, but also passionate and respectful of the art forms that inspire the brand. Avoid overly corporate or generic marketing language.
