Ireland's Eye Knitwear is a family-owned Irish brand specialising in premium Aran knitwear. Having built a strong reputation through wholesale, the business was expanding its direct-to-consumer offering through Shopify.
Its products are sold to customers around the world, particularly in markets with strong Irish heritage such as the USA and New Zealand. For customers who can't experience the quality of a garment before buying, the website plays an important role in communicating the craftsmanship, heritage and value behind every piece.
Brief
Having partnered with Ireland's Eye to launch its first consumer website in 2020, the team returned to Glaze in 2023 to develop the next generation of the site as the business continued to grow.
The new website needed to better reflect the brand, support an expanding international audience and make it easier for customers to explore the range and buy with confidence across different markets.
The ambition was to give customers the same confidence buying online as they would have when experiencing the products in person.
Approach
We redesigned and developed the Shopify store around the qualities that already set Ireland's Eye apart. Richer product pages, high-quality imagery and clearer product summaries help customers understand the details that matter before they buy, while an expanded brand story gives greater visibility to the heritage and craftsmanship behind every collection.
Detailed garment care guidance was introduced to do more than explain how to look after each piece. It reinforces the quality and longevity of premium knitwear, helping customers understand the lasting value of their purchase.
Supporting international customers was equally important. We introduced multi-currency functionality, market-relevant payment methods, international shipping options and region-specific content to create a shopping experience that feels familiar wherever customers are buying from. The experience was designed to work just as naturally on mobile as desktop, giving customers a consistent journey across devices.
Every decision supported the same goal: reflect the quality of the products while making it easier for customers around the world to choose and buy with confidence.
Impact
The new Shopify store brings Ireland's Eye's craftsmanship and heritage to the forefront of the customer experience, giving international shoppers greater confidence to buy online while providing the business with a stronger platform for continued direct-to-consumer growth.
