01The brief

A shop as considered as the cloth.

Clara Pinto is an independent London fashion designer making hand-felted, made-to-order wool pieces from her own atelier. The label was singular; the Squarespace store underneath it wasn't keeping up, strong on restraint but weak on conversion, and weakest on mobile, where most fashion shopping now happens.

So the brief was a fashion ecommerce refresh with commercial intent: rebuild the online store mobile-first, fix the product page, and tell the homepage story so each piece still reads as an object.

The store
An editorial shopfront.

A calm, image-led homepage and a shop that reads like a lookbook, the same considered tone from landing page to collection to made-to-order enquiry.

02The work

Mobile-first, editorial, built to convert.

I rebuilt the store on Squarespace so it reads like a lookbook, with the product page, the weakest and most important surface for conversion, rebuilt mobile-first and mobile optimised throughout.

Made-to-order explained with care, so a four-week, hand-finished process reads as considered.

Editorial storytelling modules, featured pieces with prices, tighter navigation and typography, and the on-page SEO basics set so a small fashion label gets found.

03The outcome

A shopfront that sells the object.

A fashion ecommerce storefront that keeps the label's restraint and finally converts: mobile-first, with the product page and homepage doing the commercial work they weren't before.
