Corporate identity
We redesigned its corporate image. The new design is based on the legendary traditional and artisanal spirit of the brand, and at the same time it combines an elegant classical aesthetics with a contemporary one.
We applied a subtle stylistic change to the letter “A” which represent a piece of silk dancing over the letter, emulating the figures of the “espolines”.
We defined two corporate colors. The first settled on the roots of the old image, a nearly gold tone. The second one is a nearly black dark grey.
This color scheme combined with its fabrics enhances the elegant sophistication and artistic character of the brand.
We developed the website, emphasizing its visuals, that enhances both its “silk jewels” and its traditional handmade weaving, which have gone unchanged for almost two centuries.
Similarly, we developed a social media strategy which, aligning it with the target audience, and emphasizing audience interaction.
To enhance the brand´s value, we produced a corporate video that reflects the legendary history of the factory and shows its production process.
