• •Inclusivity
• •Quality and Craftsmanship
• •Community
• •Sustainability

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Every product has a story. Use evocative, whimsical, and descriptive language. A dress isn't just 'black'; it's 'midnight velvet.' A steampunk accessory isn't just 'metal'; it's a 'curious contraption.' Sell the fantasy, not just the fabric.
• •Center the Customer as the Protagonist: Frame the copy to empower the customer. The clothes are their armor, their costume, their self-expression. Use 'You' and 'Your' to make them the hero of their style journey (e.g., 'Unleash *your* inner sorceress,' 'Find *your* era').
• •Use Inclusive and Positive Language: Consistently reiterate your commitment to diversity. Mention inclusive sizing and gender-neutral options naturally within posts. Celebrate your customers by sharing their photos (with permission) to show that your brand is for everybody.
• •Maintain a Consistent Voice Across Platforms: Whether writing a website FAQ, an Instagram caption, or a personal note in a package, the whimsical, passionate, and inclusive tone should be consistent. This builds brand trust and makes the brand feel authentic.
• •Balance Whimsy with Information: While the tone is magical, ensure essential information is clear and direct. Provide details on fabric, fit, sizing, and care. The 'FAQs' page shows a great example of being helpful and transparent while retaining brand personality.
