1. What You’re Up Against 🧱
The premium Mediterranean category is crowded with brands like Casablanca selling fantasy at luxury prices and Daily Paper channeling the African diaspora through streetwear.
But these players either romanticize the region or generalize its culture, missing the authentic Franco-Tunisian story—one that exists between true sophistication and heartfelt warmth.
The real opportunity? Cultural fusion that’s genuine, lived-in, and priced to welcome, not intimidate. Today’s customer is fatigued by shallow "inspiration" stories. They want nuanced origin, not the next generic "Mediterranean-inspired" offering.

While others conjure up Mediterranean platitudes or wide-angled Afro-European tropes, LYOUM’s founders embody both Tunis and Paris. Designs speak both languages fluently—never "inspired by" but inherited from. This rare cultural duality, delivered artfully at human-accessible prices, is the brand’s unique and unbeatable edge.

5. Who You’re For 🎯
For the Franco-Tunisian diaspora and culturally curious Europeans who crave heritage clothing with depth and origin. They seek sophistication without stuffiness, culture without simplification. For them, fashion is a story—one they want to wear, share, and live, without the pretense or price barriers of "luxury."
