Brand Tone

Cool & Trendy, Aspirational but Accessible (to a degree), Direct & Product-Focused, Visually Driven, Informal & Youthful

Brand Values

• •Curation
• •Authenticity (implied for hype items)
• •Style & Self-Expression
• •Trend-Consciousness
• •Exclusivity/Desirability (for certain items)

Best Practices

• •Stay Visually Aligned: Ensure copy complements the visual. If the visuals are cool and edgy, the copy should match, not be overly formal or playful if that's off-brand.
• •Know Your Slang (Authentically): Use current streetwear and youth culture vernacular where appropriate, but ensure it's used correctly and authentically to avoid sounding out of touch. Keep it concise and impactful.
• •Focus on Scarcity & Exclusivity (when applicable): For limited items, use language that emphasizes their rarity and urgency (e.g., "limited drop," "won't last long," "cop now").
• •Prioritize Product & Benefit: While maintaining a cool tone, ensure the copy clearly communicates what the product is and its key appeal (e.g., brand, style, condition for vintage items).
• •Be Consistent Across Platforms: Whether it's an Instagram caption, a website product description, or an email, the core tone (cool, direct, trendy) should remain recognizable. Adapt the length and format for the platform, but not the personality.

Social Perception

Go-to for Streetwear & Sneakers, Fashion-Forward, Reliable (within its niche), Potentially Pricey (for hype items), Community-Oriented (on social media)
