Leather-Goods Store
A material-first store for a leather-goods maker — built to show the making, not just the SKU.
How this started
An e-commerce store for a maker of leather and leather goods — built to show the material and the making, not just a grid of products, so a craft brand reads as a craft brand online.

Craft leather is a tactile, material-led purchase — the grain, the making, the way it wears. A generic store flattens exactly what makes it worth buying, burying the craft under SKUs.
Approach
We built a material-first storefront — photography-forward, structured around collections and the qualities that matter for leather — with a clean purchase flow underneath, so the craft leads and the commerce stays out of its way.

Material-first
For a craft brand, the store has to feel like the leather before it can sell it.
