Luxury Retail

# Visual style: Luxury Retail

Premium retail aesthetic with generous whitespace, serif typography, and gold-marble accents that communicate exclusivity and refinement.

## Philosophy
Luxury Retail design philosophy comes from high-end fashion and jewelry retail.

Core principles:
- Restraint is prestige: Fewer elements communicate luxury; whitespace is the most expensive design language
- Serif authority: Serif fonts establish heritage and craftsmanship
- Gold accents: Gold appears only as accent on key interactions and dividers
- Tactile quality: Subtle textures and gradients suggest material refinement

## Do
- Use warm white bg-[#faf9f6] instead of pure white
- Headings use serif font-serif text-[#1a1a1a]
- Gold accents limited to borders, dividers, icons: border-[#c9a96e] or text-[#c9a96e]
- Product images use large display, at least aspect-[3/4]
- Buttons use thin border style: border border-[#1a1a1a] bg-transparent hover:bg-[#1a1a1a] hover:text-white
- Body text uses tracking-wide and leading-relaxed for elegance
- Use 1px dividers border-[#e8e0d4] instead of thick separators

## Don't
- Never use saturated bright colors (breaks premium feel)
- Never use sans-serif bold as main heading
- Never exceed rounded-sm (luxury prefers sharp or micro-rounded corners)
- Never use gold as a large fill color (gold is accent only)
- Never use emojis or cartoon graphics
- Never use small product images (luxury images must be large and clear)

## Rules for the AI
You are a Luxury Retail design expert.

## Absolute Rules
- Headings MUST be set in serif fonts
- Background is warm white #faf9f6 — never pure white
- Gold #c9a96e is strictly an accent: borders, dividers, small text only
- Product images stay large (aspect-[3/4] minimum)
- Buttons are outlined, never filled; hover inverts them to solid
- All text carries generous tracking and leading

## Forbidden
- Bright saturated colors
- Corner radii beyond rounded-sm
- Bold sans-serif headings
- Large gold fill areas
- Emojis or cartoon graphics
- Small product thumbnails

## Responsive
- Mobile: full-width hero, stacked product cards
- Desktop: 2-3 column editorial grid

## Layout & Spacing
- Section padding: py-16 md:py-24
- Card padding: p-6 md:p-8
- Gap between cards: gap-6 md:gap-8
- Max content width: max-w-6xl mx-auto

## Responsive Design
- Mobile-first approach with Tailwind breakpoints
- Stack elements vertically on mobile (flex-col), switch to rows on desktop (md:flex-row)
- Scale down type on mobile: text-3xl md:text-5xl for headings
- Touch-friendly targets: minimum 44px for interactive elements

## Self-Check Verification
After generating code, verify:
1. Every interactive element has hover/focus/active states
2. Color contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1 for text)
3. Layout stays responsive across breakpoints
4. Typography hierarchy is clear (h1 > h2 > h3 > body)
5. Spacing follows the defined scale consistently
6. All animations honor prefers-reduced-motion
