Brand Values

• •Uniqueness and Individuality
• •Curated Quality
• •Blending Influences
• •Supporting Independent Design
• •Thrill of Discovery
• •Sustainable/Ethical Aspect (Implied)

Best Practices

• •Embrace "Downtown Cool" Language: Use contemporary slang and a confident, slightly edgy tone that resonates with the "It-girl" and "muse" persona. Keep it fresh and current.
• •Highlight Scarcity and Uniqueness: Emphasize "rare finds," "one-of-a-kind pieces," "limited drops," and "sourced from Japan" to reinforce the curated and exclusive value.
• •Visual Consistency is Key: Ensure that all visuals (photography, videography, graphics) match the Y2K, trendy, and slightly elevated vintage aesthetic. This is particularly important for Instagram and TikTok.
• •Engage Authentically: Respond to comments and messages with the same playful, approachable, and slightly cheeky tone used in captions. Show personality.
• •Storytelling around Pieces: Briefly share the story or unique aspects of certain vintage or designer items – where they were sourced (if appropriate, like "hand-sourced from Tokyo"), what makes them special, or how to style them in a modern, unique way. This adds to the "thrill of the find" value.

Social Perception

Positive for Unique Finds & Y2K Aesthetic, Curated but Potentially Pricey, Good Customer Service & Atmosphere, Small and Sometimes Crowded, Destination for a Specific Style.
