Case Study — E-Commerce
Judith Leiber
Iconic luxury handbag and accessories brand — GCC distributor store built on Shopify with custom theme matching the global site, full Arabic RTL support, and multi-country localization.
The Challenge
Bringing Global Luxury to the GCC
Judith Leiber's GCC distributor needed a regional Shopify store that faithfully replicated the global brand's premium aesthetic and shopping experience. The store had to support English and Arabic (with full RTL layout), serve multiple GCC countries with appropriate currency and shipping options, and integrate with local payment gateways.
The key challenge was maintaining the brand's ultra-luxury positioning while adapting the experience for Arabic-speaking customers — ensuring typography, imagery, and navigation felt native in both languages without compromising the brand identity.
The Solution
Custom Shopify Theme for GCC Markets
Designed and developed a custom Shopify theme that mirrors the Judith Leiber global site's luxury aesthetic, adapted for GCC market expectations.
Implemented full bilingual support with English and Arabic, including RTL layout, Arabic typography, and mirrored navigation patterns.
Built a multi-country/region switcher allowing customers to select their GCC country with localized currency, shipping, and tax settings.
Integrated GCC-specific payment gateways and regional shipping providers for seamless checkout across the Gulf region.
Optimized site performance for mobile-first GCC audiences with lazy loading, CDN optimization, and Core Web Vitals improvements.
