Key details

We designed and built the Shopify store for Designer's Empire, a Dubai fashion label that also sells other designers' pieces. The design gives each collection its own page, filters by designer, size, price and colour, and keeps a size guide beside every product photo.

Overview

Designer's Empire is a Dubai fashion label with a boutique in The Village Mall, Jumeirah 1. It designs abayas, kaftans and dresses, with embroidery and beadwork in the pastel shades it calls its signature. Its online store also sells pieces from other designers' labels.

This page covers what the brand needed, the store we designed and built, and how it is put together.

The challenge

It needed an online store for its own collections and for the other labels it sells.

  • A store that reflects the brand

    Designer's Empire wanted an online store that reflected the brand and its collections.

  • More than one label

    The store sells other designers' labels next to its own, so shoppers needed to find a designer as easily as a dress.

  • Detail that needs room

    The pieces carry embroidery and beadwork. Photographs need room, with colour and size close at hand.

  • Collections through the year

    New collections arrive through the year, and each one needed a page of its own.

What we did

  • Designed page by page

    We designed the store in Figma first: the home page, the shop and its filters, a collection page, a product page, about and contact.

  • Built on Shopify

    We built the store on Shopify, the platform it still runs on.

  • Filters and product pages

    The shop filters by designer, size, price and colour. Product pages keep colour, size and a size guide beside the photographs.

  • New arrivals first

    The home page leads with new arrivals, then a featured designer, a new collection, categories and best sellers.

  • Films, a gallery and Instagram

    The about page carries the brand's films and gallery, and the home page ends on a row of Instagram posts.

  • Campaigns to the store

    We ran the brand's Google Ads campaigns, pointing them at the new store.

  • Social media

    We also managed the brand's social media, with campaigns timed to its launches and events.

What Designer's Empire has now

  • A Shopify store on its own domain, selling its own label and the designers it carries.
  • Collections by year, by category and by designer, each on its own page.
  • Product pages with a gallery, sizes and a size chart.
  • The boutique's address, phone and email in the footer of every page.

Why it worked

It works because the store follows the way the brand sells

Designer's Empire releases collections through the year and sells other designers' labels next to its own. The store is organised around both.

A home for each collection

Each collection opens with its own image, story and film before its pieces.

Filters that match the range

Filters narrow the range by designer, size, price and colour.

Detail beside every photo

Product pages keep colour, size and the size guide next to large photographs.

One brand, online and in the boutique

The boutique's address, phone and email sit on the contact page and in the footer of every page.
