Luxury Fashion E-Commerce Portal
Leading Fashion House Dubai
Project Overview
This Dubai-based luxury fashion house needed a digital presence that matched the sophistication of their in-store experience. Their existing website was slow, difficult to manage, and couldn't support the multi-currency, multi-language capabilities required to reach customers across the GCC and beyond.
We designed and built a headless e-commerce platform using Next.js and a composable commerce backend, delivering sub-second page loads and a visually stunning storefront that showcases collections through immersive editorial layouts. The platform supports AED, SAR, KWD, and USD with real-time currency conversion, and offers Arabic and English content with RTL layout support.
The integrated CMS gives the marketing team full control over homepage campaigns, lookbook pages, and promotional banners without developer involvement. A personalised recommendation engine analyses browsing behaviour to surface relevant products, while the loyalty programme integration rewards repeat customers with exclusive early access and tier-based discounts.

The Challenge
The client's legacy website suffered from 6+ second load times, had no mobile optimisation, and couldn't support the multi-currency checkout required for their expanding GCC customer base. Online revenue accounted for just 8% of total sales.
Our Solution
We built a headless e-commerce platform on Next.js with a composable backend, integrated Tabby and Tamara for BNPL, Aramex for shipping, and a custom loyalty programme. The CMS enables the marketing team to manage campaigns independently.
