The fact that Nour Hammour was the only Hydrogen storefront awarded makes us even prouder. This recognition emphasizes Commerce-UI’s quality-first approach and is a solid testament to what can be achieved with well-thought-out headless architecture.

Nour Hammour

Nour Hammour, the leather outwear brand worn by celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Beyonce, saw potential for growth. To leverage the momentum, they decided to launch a new eCommerce website in partnership with Commerce-UI.

The new online store is a digital reflection of the Nour Hammour world. It is beautiful, immersive, performant, and intuitive for customers. It’s also making a big difference for the business; only a month after the release, Nour Hammour saw a 63% increase in conversion rate and a 128% increase in sales year-over-year. Read the entire case study.

From day one, we knew the Nour Hammour project was perfect for us, a high-fashion brand with an ambitious team eager to create a bespoke digital experience. We believed headless architecture would ideally showcase their luxurious products and enhance user shopping flows. Betting on Shopify Hydrogen for building headless storefronts proved to be a great decision.

To this day, we maintain our relationship with Nour Hammour by continuously optimizing the customer experience, building new shopping flows, and introducing quality-of-life improvements to existing ones.
