︎ Where we were. Despite offering high-quality Indian textiles and artisanal products in prime Midtown Manhattan, Tanjore NYC lacked brand memorability and distinction. Their exceptional products were trapped in a discount-driven sales cycle, failing to reflect their true artisanal value. Without a cohesive brand story, their physical store and pop-up presence weren't creating the aspirational shopping experience their products deserved.
︎︎Where we wanted to be. Tanjore NYC aimed to position itself as New York's premier destination for authentic Indian textiles, creating an aspirational brand that would appeal to India enthusiasts, event shoppers, and serious textile collectors alike.

︎︎Where we wanted to be. Tanjore NYC aimed to position itself as New York's premier destination for authentic Indian textiles, creating an aspirational brand that would appeal to India enthusiasts, event shoppers, and serious textile collectors alike.
︎ How we got there. Through comprehensive consumer research, we identified three distinct customer segments: India aficionados, themed-event shoppers, and textile collectors. This insight led us to develop a brand strategy that united these audiences through their shared appreciation for Indian craftsmanship.
We created an identity system that balanced cultural authenticity with contemporary retail appeal. The logo and color palette celebrated Indian heritage, while focused textile imagery showcased product quality. Every touchpoint, from size tags to gift packaging, was designed to enhance the shopping experience for each customer segment.
The result was a cohesive brand experience that elevated Tanjore's products from discount items to coveted artisanal pieces, creating a memorable and distinctive presence in New York's competitive retail landscape.
