Brand Tone

Artistic, Inspiring, and Whimsical. Also Friendly, Welcoming, and Community-Oriented.

Brand Values

• •Creativity & Artistry: Celebrating and integrating art in all its forms, and supporting artisans.
• •Authenticity: Offering genuine, thoughtfully curated products and experiences.
• •Beauty: Focusing on aesthetic appeal in products and store environment.
• •Inspiration & Imagination: Aiming to spark creativity and imaginative spirits in customers and the community.
• •Thoughtfulness & Connection: Providing considerate service and fostering connections between people, ideas, and products.
• •Quality & Uniqueness: Offering distinctive styles made from high-quality materials, often influenced by travel and discovery.
• •Community Enrichment: Contributing to and enriching their local community through events and supporting small creators.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Weave narratives around products, artisans, and the brand's journey. Highlight the 'why' behind an item, not just the 'what.' (e.g., 'This scarf wasn't just woven; it carries the dreams of its creator from a village nestled in the mountains...')
• •Use Evocative & Sensory Language: Appeal to the imagination by using descriptive words that evoke feelings of beauty, wonder, and artistry. (e.g., 'sun-drenched hues,' 'velvet-soft textures,' 'whispers of the exotic.')
• •Maintain a Positive & Uplifting Voice: Ensure copy is encouraging, inspiring, and friendly. Even when addressing practical matters (like sales), frame it with an element of joy or discovery.
• •Incorporate a Touch of Whimsy: Don't be afraid to be a little playful or enchanting in your descriptions where appropriate, aligning with the 'imaginative spirits' value. (e.g., 'A mug perfectly crafted for chasing away the Monday blues with a sip of sunshine.')
• •Stay True to Core Values: Always filter copy through the lens of authenticity, creativity, beauty, and thoughtfulness. Ensure the language reflects a genuine appreciation for artistry and the unique nature of the products offered.
