01 / The brief
Laine knits in Fez from Moroccan wool and was wholesaling at margins that barely covered the yarn. We designed and built the store that let them sell direct: full price, worldwide.
02 / The challenge
Wholesale buyers took sixty percent and the brand credit. Laine needed direct-to-customer without looking like a marketplace stall.
03 / The approach
An editorial store built on Shopify: texture-first photography, product pages that explain the wool before the price, and a checkout that doesn’t break the calm.

06 / Deliverables
“ We spent ten years building other people’s labels. The store gave us our own, and the margins to keep knitting here. ”
