Brand Tone

aspirational yet accessible, ethical, and compassionate

Brand Values

• •Sustainability: Promoting a circular economy by giving clothes a second life and reducing fashion waste.
• •Charity & Purpose: The core mission is to fund the Aegis Trust and its work in preventing genocide. This is a primary driver and differentiator.
• •Quality: Curating and selling high-quality, hand-picked recycled clothing, ensuring value for customers.
• •Ethical Consumption: Encouraging consumers to make thoughtful purchasing decisions that have a positive impact.
• •Community: Building a community around sustainable fashion and humanitarian support, both online and through their physical stores.
• •Empowerment: Empowering customers to look good, feel good, and do good through their purchases.

Best Practices

• •Always Circle Back to the "Why": In every piece of copy, subtly or overtly, connect the act of shopping with the brand's core mission – supporting the Aegis Trust and promoting sustainability. This reinforces the compassionate and ethical values.
• •Use Empowering and Positive Language: Frame sustainable fashion not as a sacrifice, but as a smart, stylish, and impactful choice. Words like "discover," "unique," "treasure," "empower," "transform," and "support" work well. Avoid overly preachy or guilt-inducing language.
• •Highlight Quality and Curation: Emphasize that "recycled" means quality and style, not compromise. Use descriptive language that showcases the value and uniqueness of the items, justifying the "aspirational yet accessible" aspect.
• •Maintain a Human and Approachable Voice: Even when discussing serious topics like genocide prevention, ensure the overall communication style is warm, inviting, and human. This is especially important in social media interactions. Be informative but also engaging and empathetic.
• •Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the visuals (clean, stylish photography) align with the copy. If the image is aspirational, the copy should echo that while still grounding it in the brand's ethical and compassionate mission. Consistency across all touchpoints is key.
