Heritage Shoe Brand Launches Award-Winning Online Store In Wake of Pandemic.
Heritage shoe brand Oliver Sweeney has pivoted to an ecommerce-centric model for 2021 as shoppers have increasingly turned to online shopping in the past 18 months. The 50 year-old business teamed up with ecommerce experts Eastside Co to create a brand new, award-winning online store featuring an integrated international shoe size and currency changer, which has allowed it to pursue its ambitious expansion into overseas territories.
The team at Eastside Co replatformed Oliver Sweeney from Magento 2 and designed and launched a brand new online shop on Shopify Plus. The site has been recognised by the CSS Design Awards for Best UX Design, Best UI Design, Best Innovation and was also awarded Special Design Kudos.

“Designing and developing a new store without disrupting our existing ecommerce performance was a huge undertaking – but we were delighted with how Eastside Co worked with us through the entire process, and the results have been brilliant.”
