DBCO is a Shopify Plus agency specialising in brand-led eCommerce for fashion, luxury, and beauty brands. We provide end-to-end services including creative direction, UX design, Shopify Plus development, conversion rate optimisation, and email and digital marketing creative. We work with brands on a project basis and through ongoing retained partnerships.

We work primarily with premium and luxury fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands trading on Shopify Plus or evaluating a migration to it. Past and current clients include Balmain, Stella McCartney, Rat & Boa, Lyma, Liu Jo, Anglo-Italian, Tatras, J&M Davidson, Mina Baie, and Ramy Brook.

 

DBCO operates at the intersection of brand strategy and eCommerce execution. Most digital agencies focus on technical delivery or broad marketing. We focus on the design and experience layer, the decisions that shape how a brand is perceived and how customers behave on-site. This means working closely with a brand's creative direction, not just its commercial metrics.

 

Brand-led eCommerce is the practice of designing digital retail experiences that prioritise brand equity alongside commercial performance. Rather than optimising purely for short-term conversion metrics, a brand-led approach considers how design decisions affect customer perception, long-term loyalty, and positioning relative to competitors. For luxury and premium brands this distinction matters: excessive discounting signals, generic UX patterns, or low-quality presentation can actively undermine brand value.
 

A Shopify Plus redesign with DBCO involves a discovery and strategy phase, followed by UX architecture, visual design, and Shopify Plus development. Projects typically run between 8 and 16 weeks depending on scope. We handle creative direction and UX design directly, with development delivered through a specialist Shopify Plus partner. Post-launch, we offer retained support for ongoing optimisation.
