Brand Values

• •Sustainability
• •Quality & Authenticity
• •Individuality & Style
• •Curation
• •Accessibility to Desirable Brands

Best Practices

• •Develop a Clear Brand Voice Guide: Document the desired tone (e.g., "Curated & Cool," "Sustainably Stylish," "Uniquely You"), keywords, and a "do's and don'ts" list for communication. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Emphasize Curation and Quality: Consistently use words that highlight the selective nature of the inventory, such as "handpicked," "curated," "premium," "authentic," "designer," "rare find." This reinforces the brand's commitment to quality over quantity.
• •Weave in Sustainability Naturally: Don't just state you're sustainable; show it. Talk about giving clothes a "second life," the "story" behind items, or the "conscious choice" of buying vintage. Make it part of the appeal, not just a footnote.
• •Use High-Quality Visuals: The tone set by copy must be matched by visuals. Invest in good photography that showcases the unique details and quality of the vintage items, aligning with a premium and curated feel.
• •Engage with an Authentic Voice on Social Media (once established): When active on social media, interact with followers genuinely. Share styling tips, stories behind certain pieces (if known), and user-generated content (with permission). This builds community and reinforces a passionate, authentic brand persona.
