honestwolf.co.nz
What we needed to solve.
- Customers buying premium leather bags wanted to see exactly how their custom embossed initials would look before purchasing.
- Custom embossing instructions were frequently formatted incorrectly by buyers in standard text fields.
- Gift bundle configurations required custom pricing and box selection logic.
How it was built.
HTML5 Canvas Monogram Preview
Constructed an dynamic 2D canvas overlay that renders initial inputs onto product photos with accurate foil colors, shadow effects, and font kerning.
Interactive Gift Box Builder
Designed a multi-step gift builder where shoppers pick a bag, add small leather accessories, choose custom initials, and add personalized gift cards.
Metafield Line Item Storage
Stored custom monogram text and foil choices safely as Shopify cart line item properties for seamless warehouse fulfillment.
The toolkit.
