• •Spotlight the Artisans (Storytelling): Share individual stories (anonymized if necessary, but authentic in spirit) of the women whose lives are impacted. This humanizes the brand and reinforces the compassionate tone.
• •Emphasize Quality & Craftsmanship: Detail the premium materials (Ethiopian full-grain leather) and the traditional, handcrafted nature of the products. This justifies the premium positioning and aligns with the artisanal value.
• •Be Transparent & Authentic: Clearly communicate B-Corp status, ethical sourcing, and sustainability efforts. Avoid greenwashing or overstating claims. Authenticity builds trust.
• •Maintain a Hopeful & Inspiring Voice: While acknowledging the challenges the artisans may have faced (like exploitation), focus on the positive transformation and opportunities created. The overall tone should be uplifting and empowering. Use language that reflects 'a better bag for a better world.'
