Thanks for the comment StacyZ. I knew there was some sort of deal with using the Couture name in fashion. However to me anymore it is just a platitude and no different then using words like Amazing to explain something. It would be one thing if it literally added value to a name but when I think of Couture I also think of overpriced and a slight aspect of “this is to good for you” as well. I never want my business name to do anything but inspire whether it is my name or a name I come up with to represent what I do.

Great point. In the fashion world you are only supposed to use Couture if you are trained in France at the specific center. Cannot remember the specifics but it always irked me from the purist since.

Love this post. Very informative! I look forward to getting to know you better Jerad!
