The brief for Lula & Betty was deceptively simple: build a brand for a home and decor retail store that doesn't look like one. The client wanted warmth without sentimentality, maximalism without chaos, and a visual language confident enough to have a point of view. The strategy was to lead with personality over product. Identity work spanned logo, submark, stamp, typography system, color palette, brand patterns, and icons, everything built around a single conviction: the best homes are collected, not assembled, and the right brand should make you feel that from the first mark to the last detail.

​

The visual direction leaned into ornamentation, heritage craft, and deliberate maximalism, the opposite of where most home retail brands go. A contrasting logo pairing bold letterforms with fluid script reflects the brand's core tension: structured and personal, timeless and warm. The baroque botanical submark draws from antique crests and hand-illustrated tradition, designed to function the way a fashion house monogram does, rewarding people who already know the brand. A nine-color palette built like a well-collected room, no single tone dominating, every color earning its place. The result is an identity that doesn't just represent a store. It represents a sensibility.
