Leather Meets Sustainability Meets Art
Ecodomo LLC needed to position recycled leather as ethical luxury. I built their brand messaging from market research through website copy, helping them communicate sustainable practices while maintaining premium market positioning.
The Challenge
Ecodomo's products are made from recycled and repurposed leathers. Leather, as an industry, faces evolving sustainability challenges and strong market perception against it. Ecodomo wanted to highlight their sustainable practices when producing luxury and quality leathers.
The core challenge: how do you communicate refined artistic values and environmental responsibility without sacrificing the brand's identity. A new messaging challenge since a lot of companies are still attaching the material to its sustainable narrative in a defensive posture rather than a clear, confident market presence.
Strategy
I conducted detailed market research and brand deep dives with the CEO. This included research about demands, trends, competitions, challenges, and market landscapes. From that data, I created the company's unique writing style guide. Copy was created based on the approved data and style guide, with wireframes and suggestions for the designer's reference.
The strategy focused on positioning Ecodomo not as a sustainable alternative, but as luxury that happens to be sustainable. We emphasized artistry, craftsmanship, and quality first โ with sustainability as inherent brand DNA, not a defensive talking point.

Outcome
The deliverables helped Ecodomo:
- Clarify their brand messaging across all touchpoints
- Tell the story of the brand without being defensive

- Emphasize their brand ethos as luxury-first, sustainable inherently
The rebrand positioned Ecodomo as a premium leather brand that leads with quality and artistry. Sustainability became part of their identity rather than their entire pitch โ a stronger, more confident market position.
