For the Insiders: Crafting a Secret E-Commerce Drop That Sold Out in Hours.
An e-commerce model for the underground.
For an artist like ChaseWest, a traditional, always-on store felt inauthentic. How do you translate the raw, ephemeral energy of a sold-out show into a digital commerce experience? The challenge wasn't just to sell products, but to create an event—a fleeting moment of access that rewarded his most dedicated fans and reinforced the exclusivity of his world.
This led to a strategic shift away from conventional e-commerce. Instead of a widely-announced permanent storefront, we designed a secret, time-sensitive drop, transforming the act of buying artist merchandise into a shared experience for a community of insiders.

Designing for the drop.
The user experience was designed for a single purpose: speed and simplicity. The two-page site—a minimalist product grid and a streamlined product details page—was optimized for a mobile-first journey. We stripped away all unnecessary elements, focusing on a clean presentation of products and an intuitive flow that guided users from the secret link to checkout in seconds.

A headless foundation for total creative control.
Custom e-commerce infrastructure allowed us to leverage Shopify's robust back-end for inventory and payments while building a completely bespoke front-end in Webflow.
This separation of concerns was critical. It gave us the freedom to design a unique, brand-aligned storefront, expanding Chase’s graphic identity into a minimalist UI in a way that a standard e-commerce template never could.
