Standing rule — DW vendor names NEVER in customer-facing UI. The editorial
'About the Collection' + 'How to' copy named Schumacher and Thibaut as
examples; both sit on the 30-vendor denylist. Replaced with generic
category words (botanical paper, grasscloth, ochre botanical). Search
placeholder no longer prompts users to type 'vendor'.
