The Brand

Aarbab is a Dubai-based men's fashion brand with a clean, minimal aesthetic and a core range of premium t-shirts, hoodies, and joggers. The brand needed a store that matched its visual identity — fast, uncluttered, and product-first.

What made this project special was the dual logo treatment — Arabic and English versions both present in the store — and the custom Shop the Look feature that rewards customers for buying complete looks with a 25% bundle discount. A store that feels as considered as the clothes themselves.

The Challenge

Aarbab needed more than a standard Shopify setup — it needed a store that reflected the brand's premium, minimal identity while serving a bilingual market across the UAE and beyond. The challenge was building features — bundle discounts, a reels section, bilingual logos — without any plugins, keeping the store fast and clean. Every custom element had to feel like it belonged, not like it was bolted on.

What I Built

Every Feature, Hand-Coded

1

Minimal, Product-First Design

Aarbab's brief was clear: let the product do the talking. The store was designed with a minimal visual language — clean backgrounds, generous white space, and a layout that puts the t-shirts front and centre. No distractions, no clutter. Just the product, presented at its best.

2

Mobile-First & Fast Loaded

With customers primarily browsing on mobile across the UAE and globally, mobile performance was non-negotiable. The store was hand-coded from scratch — no pre-built theme, no plugins — resulting in fast load times even on slower connections, and a browsing experience that feels native on a phone.

3

Shop the Look — Bundle Discount

Built a custom 'Shop the Look' feature where buying a hoodie and jogger together automatically unlocks a 25% discount. Entirely hand-coded — no app, no plugin. The feature increases average order value while giving customers a genuine reason to buy more in a single session.

4

Customer Reels Section

A dedicated reels section showcasing real customers wearing Aarbab — tagged videos that bring the brand to life beyond product photography. Built custom to pull in social proof directly on the store, giving new visitors the confidence to buy by seeing how the clothes look in real life.

5

Custom Care Page

Built a dedicated garment care page — not a generic FAQ, but a custom-designed page specific to Aarbab's fabrics and fits. Customers can find washing instructions, storage tips, and care guidance in one place, reducing returns and post-purchase queries.

6

T-Shirt Showcase Layout

The main product — t-shirts — got a purpose-built showcase layout: multiple image angles, clean size guides, fabric callouts, and a product page structure designed around how a customer shops for premium casualwear. Every detail reduces hesitation and builds confidence at the point of purchase.

7

Zero Plugins, Full Control

Every feature on the Aarbab store — the bundle discount, the reels section, the care page, the bilingual logo — was built in code. No third-party apps that slow the store down or break on updates. Clean, maintainable Liquid that gives the brand full ownership of every element.

Standout Feature

“The Shop the Look bundle was what made Aarbab convert better. A customer picks up a hoodie, sees the matching jogger alongside it with a 25% discount if bought together — that's not just a feature, that's a buying decision made easy. Built entirely in code, no app required.”
