Etched has done great work for Luxe Colore, “a shopping retreat for the globally chic.” Luxe Colore connects distinctive designers and products from all corners of the globe with discerning trendsetters who crave stylish individuality and graceful panache.

Etched’s goals for the campaign were to grow awareness, elevate visibility for the client as a tastemaker in the fashion industry, and increase the quantity of media clips. Due to Etched’s tireless efforts, Luxe Colore participated in high-profile events like Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Etched was also able to secure media placements in various fashion blogs and outlets, which garnered more than 40 million impressions.
