Case Study: Lewis Leathers modernises ecommerce with Upment’s Magento to Shopify migration

Lewis Leathers completes Magento to Shopify migration with Upment, including 2-store support and made-to-order customization

Lewis Leathers, a historic British leather jacket brand founded in 1892, faced the challenge of migrating its complex ecommerce operations from Magento to Shopify. Their unique business, which includes a custom jacket configurator and a made-to-order process, required a platform that could unify their online and London store sales while preserving their brand identity and SEO value. The brand enlisted Upment, a vendor with whom they had an established relationship, to manage this sensitive re-platforming.

Upment executed a meticulous migration to Shopify, rebuilding essential custom features like the jacket configurator as a dedicated app. The solution integrated Shopify POS to streamline in-store and online sales, built a custom theme to maintain the brand's vintage aesthetic, and ensured international compliance. The result was a more stable and manageable platform that supported the brand's unique processes. Upment's work established a foundation for future growth, with plans to implement a CRM system to further simplify customer management and marketing.
