01 · The brief
What the store had to do.
Kitchen tools sold as singles and as sets, across colourways. Navigation has to expose the whole range at once — category, then the items in it — and a set product has to let the shopper choose a colour for each item in the set, not one colour for the whole box.
02 · What we built
The work.
A theme with no Theme Store base
The theme was written from scratch rather than customised from a purchased base. For a brand with this much control over its visual identity, starting clean was faster than removing what a base theme assumes.
A full-height two-level shop panel
The shop navigation opens as a full-height panel: categories on one level, items on the next, everything visible without a page load. It replaces the usual dropdown that can only show a few links.
A colour picker per item on set products
A set is several products in one. The picker lets each component’s colour be chosen on the set page and resolves those choices to the right variants, so the cart and the order are exact.
