01 · The brief

Made by hand in India.Worn in Qatar.

Beenas makes jalabiyas in silk and velvet, by hand. Most of its customers are abroad, especially in Qatar. They cannot touch the fabric before buying, so the store has to do the work of the shop floor.

The brief was a store that feels as premium as the garments and makes buying from another country simple.

02 · The Shopify store

The garments lead.Everything else steps back.

We designed a clean, premium Shopify store where the photography of the garments carries the page. Navigation, product details and checkout are quiet and quick, so nothing gets between a customer and the piece they want.

PREMIUM

Space, light and large imagery that suit handcrafted pieces.

FAST
