A complete commerce experience delivered as one launch
Jaans Reloved needed a digital shopfront that could carry a distinctive pre-loved fashion story while still behaving like a dependable ecommerce product. Brand expression, product discovery, merchandising, responsive behavior, Shopify administration, and launch continuity all had to arrive together.
Waka owned the complete ecommerce and custom web engagement. The work used Shopify as the operational commerce foundation and shaped a tailored customer-facing experience around the brand. The delivery plan kept design and implementation closely connected so decisions could move quickly without losing polish or launch discipline.
Balancing a fashion-led brand with the clarity shoppers need
A pre-loved fashion store has to create desire and trust at the same time. Every item carries its own context, so browsing, product information, condition cues, and purchase actions need to feel clear. The five-week timeline added a second constraint: the team needed speed without turning the storefront into a generic template or disrupting ongoing operations.

Launch the new brand experience within five weeks without pausing operations.
The choices that shaped the product direction
The strongest route was a tightly integrated Shopify delivery: use the platform for dependable commerce operations, then tailor the public experience where the brand and customer journey needed more control.
Build brand and commerce together
The visual story and shopping flow were developed as one experience. Editorial moments created character, while product and action states stayed direct and recognizable.
Expression must support shoppingUse Shopify as the commerce core
Shopify provided the operational base for products, orders, and checkout. Custom web work focused on the storefront experience and the areas where the brand needed distinction.
Customize where it creates valueDesign for unique inventory
The experience prioritized useful product information and confident actions because pre-loved inventory can be limited and each piece needs to stand on its own.
Trust lives in product detailRun design and development in one rhythm
A shared five-week delivery cadence kept design decisions close to implementation. That reduced handoff delay and made launch tradeoffs visible early.
Integrated teams move fasterA commerce journey built for discovery and confident decisions
The storefront needed to feel distinctive at the top of the journey and increasingly direct as the shopper moved closer to purchase.
