INOA Fashions: custom Shopify for resort wear

Custom Shopify theme development for The House of INOA: silk kaftans, kimono and maxi dresses, and vacation styling with editorial homepage modules, deep category navigation, shop-the-look storytelling, campaigns and journal content, wishlist and accounts, and conversion flows from first-visit popup to VIP email capture.

The client

The House of INOA

Inoa Fashions is a women’s resort and occasion wear brand built around silk-led pieces: kimono dresses, maxi and summer dresses, beach cover-ups, and print-led tops. The positioning line “INOA: I know her!” anchors a luxury holiday and vacation wardrobe story, with seasonal collections such as SS26 spotlights like Pistacia Vera and Jardin Magnifique on the live storefront. The brand sells through a Shopify-powered direct-to-consumer store aimed at Australian shoppers (free standard shipping messaging, first-order incentives) while operating under The House of BB FZ-LLC in the site footer. Bytelogic scoped and delivered a custom theme and merchandising experience aligned to the client’s own site-structure brief: premium navigation, editorial modules, and account-led features rather than a generic template skin.

The challenge

Premium fashion UX on Shopify

  • Mirror a detailed category tree: Dresses (kimono, maxi, summer, beach), Tops, Prints, Occasions (summer, beach, vacation), plus New Arrivals
  • Build “The House of INOA” as a content hub: About, Campaigns, Journal, and editorial tiles on the homepage (boutiques, journey, seasonal edit)
  • Deliver campaign-ready layouts with image and video-forward pages, inspired by premium fashion benchmarks the client cited during planning
  • Support merchandising tools: custom collection landing pages, optional product banners and notes, shop-the-look modules, and sale-ready dynamic pricing patterns
  • Implement full commerce flows: accounts, order history, wishlist in header, cart, PayPal and Shop Pay checkout, shipping and tax, inventory and order emails
  • Layer growth features: reviews and ratings, blog/journal surfacing on home, SEO basics, analytics hooks, and dual email capture (popup offer plus footer VIP signup)
  • Stay responsive and cross-browser tested with training and post-launch support so the client team can run collections day to day
The solution

Custom Shopify theme & merchandising

Approach & engagement

From structure brief to launched store

Work started from Bytelogic’s Shopify quotation and the client’s Design CSV: every nav item, House of INOA subsection, and header behaviour was tracked against delivery. The initial package covered core theme pages, commerce features, SEO foundations, training, and 30 days post-launch support, with optional SEO, blog, and maintenance add-ons. The live site reflects iterative expansion into editorial homepage sections, campaigns, journal surfacing, and richer merchandising than a starter theme.
