Omni-channel jewellery brand CaratLane has unveils a new campaign with a message of female empowerment. Launching with the tagline, ‘Wear Your Wins’, the campaign encourages women to reward themselves with every win, professional or personal.
The campaign, which was produced by BBH India, features content creator and fashion designer Nancy Tyagi who was in the news when she walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival this year, wearing an elaborate, self-stitched gown enhanced with CaratLane jewellery.
“Wear Your Wins” aspires to encourage women to reward themselves for their wins while underlining the symbolic power that the right jewellery can bring its wearer. Often, women work tirelessly towards routine accomplishments or life goals but may hesitate to acknowledge them, when achieved. CaratLane believes that regular recognition of these accomplishments, big or small, will boost confidence and also inspire women to set higher goals.
“Enabling our customers to express themselves is our brand’s purpose,” explains Jennifer Pandya, VP of Marketing, CaratLane. “While most women are quick to appreciate their loved ones and their achievements, they are hesitant to acknowledge their own wins… we wanted to urge women to stop undermining their wins. Rather we want them to acknowledge and reward themselves for these wins. We see this as a cultural movement rather than a campaign.”
Wear Your Wins
Titan-owned Caratlane’s latest initiative, Wear Your Wins, features twenty-three year old Nancy Tyagi, who hails from a small village Barnawa in Uttar Pradesh, India. Per Hindustan Times, ‘For her Cannes foray, Tyagi designed four garments, which took her two months to put together. She created her first look, a beautiful 20 kg pink gown with frills and made with 1,000 metres of fabric, in 30 days. In the month that followed, she made the other three.’
The campaign comprises a film, social interventions and a few other executions to inspire women to celebrate their achievements with pieces of jewellery that can be worn every day and serve as a delightful reminder of each win in life. be it a Cinderella charm bracelet, solitaire, diamond studs or gemstone pendant, each piece pf jewellery is a long-lasting reminder of strength and success, subsequently enhancing the wearer’s self esteem and confidence.
“Women discount their own effort; they don’t acknowledge their own achievements and they don’t celebrate their own wins enough,” says BBH India Chief Creative Officer, Parikshit Bhattaccharya. “CaratLane is a trailblazing brand in the way it conducts its business and in what it enables through its many innovations. It is only fitting that it is the first jewellery brand to inspire women to celebrate their victories through Wear Your Wins.”
The jewellery brand has also launched its first collection ‘Peak’ to epitomise this campaign. The collection was crafted to reward each step of the wearer’s journey to success and features a unique mountain-inspired ‘Everest Cut’ as a testament to the wearer’s journey trials and wins, shaping each stone into a symbol of success.
