Case Studies / Self-Portrait

A comprehensive Magento migration and Shopify 2.0 build for premium womenswear label Self-Portrait.

Central Saint Martins graduate Han Chong established premium womenswear label Self-Portrait in 2013. The Malaysian-born designer’s aim is to create beautiful clothes for women that stand the test of time.

Now, as well as through its own ecommerce website, Self-Portrait is sold in over 350 of the world's most prestigious retailers including Selfridges, Matchesfashion.com and Net-A-Porter.

Self-Portrait believes in celebrating and empowering the women wearing its clothes by making pieces that are both feminine and functional.

The label commissioned BAO to undertake a Magento migration and Shopify 2.0 build. With an ambitious timeline, the BAO design team enhanced the UX and UI whilst adhering to the design language of the original store.
