The Challenge

A premium label trapped in a template

Atelier Marlowe’s collections sell out in London boutiques, but online the label lived in an off-the-shelf theme: slow galleries, a four-step checkout and a mobile experience that undercut the price point.

The brief: a storefront with the pace of Shopify and the feel of a fashion editorial โ€” without losing a single order in the migration.


The Approach

Editorial pace, engineering discipline

Step 01

Brand & catalogue audit

Every collection, margin and drop-off point mapped before a single pixel was designed.

Step 02

Editorial design system

Typography-led layouts that let photography breathe โ€” lookbook first, product grid second.

Step 03

Custom storefront build

A Shopify-grade storefront with zero-downtime migration of catalogue, customers and orders.

Step 04

Checkout & CRO

The four-step checkout collapsed into one; upsells, bundles and thresholds tested weekly.

The Solution

An online flagship, not just a shop

Editorial lookbooks, a one-step checkout and merchandising built to lift every order.

  • Editorial lookbook engine โ€” shoppable campaign pages for every seasonal drop
  • One-step checkout โ€” express wallets first โ€” checkout completion time down 68%
  • Merchandising for AOV โ€” complete-the-look bundles and tiered thresholds driving 2.1× basket size
  • Performance built in โ€” an image pipeline and lazy galleries that stay fast on 4G

The Results

The boutique feeling, at scale

+0%

Year-on-year online revenue up 140% within two quarters of launch โ€” with returns flat.

0%

Average Order Value

Complete-the-look merchandising and bundle logic more than doubled the average basket.

It finally feels like walking into one of our boutiques. Orders are bigger, checkout is instant, and the site sells the brand โ€” not just the stock.
