Brands in cannabis are being likened to those in fashion and beauty with curious frequency.
That could be one reason for another recent phenomenon — the overlap in workforce: Lately, fashion people have been jumping ship to work in cannabis instead. For instance, Beboe, which is likely the best-known cannabis brand among fashion crowds, employs a number of business-savvy professionals from that world.
Canndescent is another cannabis company positioning itself in the luxury space — with its orange packaging, it's also been dubbed the "Hermès of cannabis," uh-oh — that has been looking for fashion experience on prospective employees' resumés. The publicist I worked with for this story previously held roles at Tom Ford and Gucci, while the company's Chief Marketing Officer Jenna Habayeb previously held the same role at 7 For All Mankind, Splendid and Ella Moss.
With former fashion professionals at the table and a common near-evangelical mission to normalize cannabis consumption, these particular companies are, naturally, branding, marketing and selling products using tactics that are tried and true in the fashion and beauty industries. From a retail standpoint, Lewis and Schroeder confirm aesthetics are important, especially for a site like Fleur Marché, whose mission is to de-stigmatize CBD and present it in a way that speaks to women who might be trying it for the first time. Schroeder says she's noticed that branding of cannabis products is improving and called out Beboe as a brand that's getting it right. "The more you can make it feel like a chic accessory, the more accessible it gets," she says.
One way around this is putting out a product that does not itself contain THC, whether it's a CBD product or a vape pen battery , like Canndescent's Stylus, which Habayeb says is "opening up a lot more avenues for us to have a national conversation." "I think the Barneys project will open a lot of doors and shed a lot of hesitation that people have in embracing [cannabis]," says Campbell. "It's a bold move on their part and I'm really kind of grateful for their legal team for trusting us on this one."
