Brand Tone

Approachable, Enthusiastic, Passionate, Story-Driven, Conscious, Purposeful, Curated, and Discerning

Brand Values

• •Uniqueness and Individuality
• •Quality and Craftsmanship
• •Sustainability
• •Curation and Discovery
• •Community and Connection (implied)

Best Practices

• •Embrace Imperfection and Authenticity: Vintage is about character, not pristine newness. Let this reflect in your copy. Use words like "pre-loved," "story," "character," "patina" rather than focusing solely on flawlessness. This aligns with the value of uniqueness.
• •Tell the Story (Even a Small One): Whenever possible, hint at the history or unique qualities of a piece. What era is it from? What makes it special? This taps into the "story-driven" aspect of the brand.
• •Use Enthusiastic and Inclusive Language: Continue the friendly "heyy" and community-focused vibe. Use contractions and an approachable vocabulary. Address your audience directly ("you," "your"). This reinforces the approachable and passionate tone.
• •Highlight Sustainability Naturally: Weave in the benefits of choosing vintage (eco-friendly, reducing waste) without being preachy. Connect it to the idea of timelessness and quality that endures. This supports the "conscious and purposeful" value.
• •Maintain a Consistent Visual and Verbal Identity on Instagram: Since Instagram is their primary social channel, ensure the visual style of photos (e.g., how items are modeled or displayed) complements the curated and quality-focused verbal descriptions. Use consistent hashtags that reflect brand values.
