• •Community Engagement
• •Storytelling & Authenticity
• •Adaptability & Innovation

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Consistently weave in the narrative of upcycling, the origin of materials, and the inspiration behind collections. Every piece has a past; share it.
• •Highlight Uniqueness and Craftsmanship: Use descriptive language that emphasizes the 'one-of-a-kind,' 'handcrafted,' and 'transformed' nature of the products. Avoid generic fashion terms.
• •Maintain an Authentic, Passionate Voice: Let the genuine love for vintage, music, pop culture, and sustainable practices shine through in all communications. Share the founder's passion.
• •Foster Community Connection: Use inclusive language ('we,' 'us,' 'our community'). Encourage interaction, share customer stories (with permission), and highlight local involvement.
• •Visually Align Copy: Ensure that the visual content (photos, videos) complements the tone of the copy. For example, if the copy is about rugged vintage, the visuals should reflect that, not pristine studio shots unless that's the intended contrast. The TikTok content seems to do this well by showing items in real-world, pop-up market settings.
