The challenge

Make made-to-measure feel clear online

GentleMano sells more than garments. The customer is choosing fabric, fit, finishing details and a relationship with a tailor. A conventional product grid could not explain that value—or handle the choices behind it.

The experience needed to serve two buying modes at once: customers ready to purchase online and customers who first need guidance or a measurement appointment. It also had to support an international audience while retaining the confidence, restraint and personal attention of a Swiss atelier.

UI / UX

Editorial luxury with a working sales system

The interface keeps the visual confidence of a fashion campaign while making category discovery, product configuration and purchase actions easy to understand.

01

Luxury visual direction

Deep ink tones, warm neutrals, editorial serif type and close-up tailoring photography focus attention on fabric, construction and finish.

02

Structured discovery

Eleven core categories—from wedding suits and tuxedos to shirts, shoes and accessories—organise a broad catalogue without flattening the brand.

03

Configuration in context

Size guidance, fabric galleries, lining choices, button options and variations sit beside price and purchase controls on the product page.

04

Consultation fallback

Appointment booking remains visible for customers who want expert help, turning uncertainty into a useful next step instead of a lost visit.

Customer journey

From first look to final fitting

  1. DiscoverEnter through collection imagery, new arrivals or a defined tailoring category.

Store architecture

A catalogue organised around how customers shop

The ecommerce structure separates high-intent tailoring categories from accessories and support content, creating clear paths for both occasion-led and product-led visitors.

Development

Built around the realities of custom clothing

We shaped WooCommerce into a richer product and service platform, then added targeted custom development where the off-the-shelf stack could not deliver a reliable experience.

Commerce core

WooCommerce product system

Variable products, category archives, cart, checkout, accounts, related products and order flows form a maintainable operational base.

Product experience

Data-rich tailoring template

Dynamic product fields power fabric galleries, size-guide copy, lining information, button options and variation-specific content.

Responsive system

Four header compositions

Dedicated layouts support navigation, logo, account, wishlist and live cart count across desktop, tablet and mobile breakpoints.

Custom integration

Update-safe commerce icons

Custom shortcodes render accessible account, wishlist and cart controls, including WooCommerce AJAX fragments for an accurate basket count.

Revenue protection

Product purchase flow restored

A custom product-only fix neutralises a motion conflict that could push the summary and add-to-cart controls off-screen.

Swiss & international

Payments, language and delivery

Stripe, PayPal, TWINT tooling, English/German journeys and worldwide shipping content prepare the store for local and cross-border customers.

The custom behaviour is isolated in automatically loaded, update-safe modules rather than embedded inside a visual template. That makes the critical storefront fixes easier to preserve and maintain.
Outcome

A complete ecommerce foundation for personal tailoring

Brand and buying now agree

The visual language communicates craft while the interface keeps commercial actions clear.

Complex products stay understandable

Customers can explore variations and finishing details within one coherent product experience.

Critical actions stay reliable

Custom development protects the responsive header, cart feedback and add-to-cart journey.

The platform can keep growing

Reusable templates and structured product data give the team a practical base for new collections.
