Developing a new E-commerce Experience

Sabah is a unique shoe and lifestyle brand based in New York City. We partnered with them to translate their intimate in-store customer experience and love for craftsmanship into a modern digital brand - building an e-commerce destination tailored around storytelling.

We started developing a strategic foundation over the course of a series of work sessions -collaborating directly with the internal team and the company’s founder.

Immersing ourselves in each aspect of the company we learned as much as we could, from how the leather is being produced to the history of the brand. From there, we developed a streamlined user experience, and a new strong and personal visual language.

The highly customizable front end offers huge freedom in creating different components and combining them in every possible way. Those capabilities were well appreciated by the internal design team of Sabah giving them endless possibilities to transform and grow the brand over time.
