Case Studies / Lulu Guinness

Salesforce to Shopify Plus migration and design transformation for quintessential handbag brand Lulu Guinness.

Lulu Guinness founded her namesake handbag brand in 1989. The Dali-esque Lips Clutch remains a cult favourite by Guinness, who is famed for her witty, playful designs.

Today, the 1993 Florist Basket is shown as part of a permanent fashion exhibition at the V&A.

Lulu Guinness bags are celebrated by the likes of Kate Moss, Bella Hadid, and Blanca Miro, who favour the brand’s tongue-in-cheek style that dares to be different.

The handbag company commissioned BAO to migrate its site from Salesforce to Shopify Plus. The objective was to create a more performant and optimised shopping experience whilst embracing the brand’s exuberant identity.

"By far the most successful re-platforming I have experienced so far. This was down to the relationship between By Association Only and Lulu Guinness being more like a partnership, and both businesses having a one-team approach. It made the project an enjoyable experience and an incredible achievement – especially based on the concise timeline. Fair, reasonable, friendly and highly-skilled team approach from BAO. Thank you."
