Brand Tone

Mystical, whimsical, and slightly moody; evocative and poetic, aiming to create a sense of escapism and wonder. It is personal and dreamy, speaking to a desire for a more magical and nature-connected existence.

Brand Values

• •Self-Expression and Individuality
• •Connection with Nature
• •Escapism and Fantasy
• •Comfort
• •Ethical Consideration

Best Practices

• •Embrace Poetic and Evocative Language: Use words that conjure images of nature, magic, and mystery. Terms like "whispers," "enchanted," "earthen," "moonlit," and "foraged" reinforce the brand's mystical tone.
• •Speak to the "Why," Not Just the "What": Instead of just describing a sweater, describe the feeling it evokes —coziness, protection, a connection to the earth. Frame your products as tools for self-expression and escapism.
• •Maintain a Consistent Visual and Textual Aesthetic: Ensure that the tone of the copy always matches the moody, earthy, and whimsical visuals on the website and social media. This creates a cohesive and immersive brand experience.
• •Use Subculture-Specific Hashtags: Continue leveraging targeted hashtags like #fairycore, #goblincore, #darkacademia, and #cottagecore to connect with the intended audience and build community.
• •Be Transparent About Values: The target audience is often value-driven. If items are ethically sourced, handmade, or sustainable, highlight this clearly and authentically in product descriptions and brand messaging. It builds trust and differentiates the brand from fast-fashion alternatives.

Social Perception

The brand is perceived as a niche player catering specifically to the fairy grunge and goblincore subcultures, seen as a go-to source for authentic pieces within this community. Its strong visual identity on Instagram solidifies this. Outside this niche, visibility is low. The target audience values authenticity, so a lack of clear information on sustainability could be a point of contention.
