Our approach

Why we build stores differently

We build e-commerce systems for brands in denim, workwear, heritage and leather goods. That covers design, the Shopify setup, custom development, SEO and GEO, and the work that keeps going after launch.

We do not work from a fixed template, and we do not work like a classic agency. We build what fits your brand.

001

We know why 14oz denim needs explaining.

002

Why a selvedge edge makes quality visible.

003

Why the choice of material decides what a brand is worth.

004

And why so many of our clients work in small, limited runs.

What we do

Three things, done well

Most of our clients come to us with one of three problems. A store that no longer carries the brand, a shop nobody finds, or traffic that does not turn into orders. We work on all three, and usually in that order.

01Store builds & migration

A shop built around the product, not around a theme

A new Shopify store, or a move from whatever you are on now. We handle structure, design, custom development and a clean technical base you can keep growing into. Pre-orders, drops, size guides, material and origin details, limited runs and custom filters are built to fit how you actually sell.

  • Custom dev

02SEO & GEO

Found by the people already looking for you

Classic search and AI answers now sit side by side. We work on both. Technical clean-up, product and category content that holds up, and the structured data that lets a model quote you correctly.

Campaigns that carry the story instead of flattening it

Paid social and search for brands with a real price point. We build the creative around material and craft, run the campaigns, read the numbers every week and adjust. No dashboard theatre, just what changed and what we did about it.

Not mainstream brands. Brands with character.
Who we work with

For brands with character

Our clients are designers, founders and small teams who develop their own products. They work closely with their makers. They choose their materials on purpose. They decide cuts, details and production themselves, and they answer for every release.

We are the same kind of shop, with the technical side covered.

Selected work

Shops we built

Every one of these started from the brand and the product, not from a layout. Placeholder copy below, to be replaced with the real project notes.

IRONHEART Germany

Case 01 / 04

Japanese denim, explained without a datasheet

A Shopify store for a brand where every ounce of fabric has a reason. Product pages that carry weight, weave and the way a pair wears in, written so a first-time buyer and a ten-year collector both get what they came for.

TonTon et Fils

Case 02 / 04

French workwear for an international shelf

A shop that had to work in three languages without losing the tone of the original. Clean navigation for a catalogue that grows by season, and a checkout that behaves the same in Paris, Berlin and Tokyo.

Selvage Denim

Case 03 / 04

Raw denim for people who know the weight

A shop for buyers who compare ounces, looms and fits before they order. Filters that work the way the customers think, and product pages that put the fabric details where they are actually looked for.

DC4 Berlin

Case 04 / 04

A denim store with a shop floor behind it

Stock that moves fast, drops that sell out in an afternoon, and a physical store that has to stay in sync. We built the logic that keeps the two honest with each other.

What we deliver

A good product does not sell itself

It has to be understood first. That is the job. Six things every store we build has to do.

A

Make the material tangible

Fabric, construction and details have to come across on a screen, at the size a phone gives you.

B

Reduce complexity, keep substance

Fewer steps and fewer choices, without cutting the information a considered purchase needs.

C

Build trust before the buy

Sizing, returns, delivery and provenance answered before anyone has to look for them.

D

Design and function together

The look and the mechanics get decided in the same conversation, not handed over in stages.

E

Hold up in real conditions

Slow connections, an old phone, a sold-out drop, a payment provider having a bad day.

F

Grow with the brand

New products, new markets and new ideas should not need a rebuild each time.

How it works

Three steps to find out

No pitch deck, no discovery workshop you pay for. We look at what you have, we talk it through, and then you get a number.

1

A look, free of charge

We go through your current shop and write down what we see. You get that whether or not we end up working together.

An outside view
2

A conversation

We talk through the options, what order things should happen in, and what is worth doing now against what can wait.

Open and direct
3

A proposal

You get a written scope with a fixed price. If something is outside it, we say so before we start, not in the invoice.

No hidden costs
Questions

The things people ask first

If yours is not here, write to us and we will answer it properly rather than send you a brochure.

How do you work with us?

We start by understanding the brand, the products and who buys them. Structure, design and the Shopify setup come after that. The shop has to work, and it has to sound like you.

Do you work with smaller or newer brands?

Yes. What matters is the standard you hold your product to, not your revenue. A lot of our clients are early or growing and want a clean base from the start rather than a rebuild in two years.

Do you use a standard theme?

No. Shopify is the technical base, but no ready-made theme decides the result. We build so the shop fits your brand, your range and your price point.

Can we keep our existing Shopify store?

That depends on its condition. Sometimes it is worth optimising, sometimes a fresh start is cheaper in the long run. We tell you honestly which one we think it is.

How much of our time will this take?

As much as necessary and as little as possible. At the start we need your understanding of the brand. After that we take you through the process without loading you up with technical detail.

What happens after launch?

A launch is a starting point, not a hand-off. Most clients stay with us for optimisation, new features and growth work.

Do you work with premium and high-end brands?

Yes, that is what we are set up for. We work mainly with brands where product quality, material and construction are the point, in denim, workwear and leather.

We do not mean luxury in the classic sense. We mean brands that work in small runs, at a high standard of making, with a clear price position. Our job is to carry that quality into the digital space so it can be understood, felt and bought, without watering it down or overselling it.
