Challenge

Before the project, Original Story did not have its own ecommerce store, and its digital presence relied on content, products, and physical touchpoints rather than a direct sales channel.

Before the project, Original Story did not operate its own ecommerce store. The brand’s digital presence was built through content, products, and physical touchpoints, but it lacked a direct sales channel and a cohesive digital customer experience. At the same time, Original Story served a diverse audience, including both consumers and business customers, which required a flexible and clearly structured solution.

The challenge was to bring the brand into ecommerce for the first time in a way that didn’t feel like a traditional online store, but rather a natural extension of the Original Story world. The digital experience needed to support storytelling, inspire customers, and guide purchasing decisions without compromising the brand’s identity or values.
