Mercer & Vine

A catalog-first storefront that lets a small shop feel like a brand worth the trip.

The challenge

Mercer & Vine’s imagined regulars loved the shop, but new visitors had no way to browse what was in store before making the trip. Every stock question became a phone call.

What we built

A browsable catalog concept organised by collection, a new-arrivals area built for quick updates, and a flexible review wall. Deep green and brass details give the fictional storefront a warm, curated identity.

“A small shop’s website should not feel like a supermarket. It should feel curated, warm, and personal.”
