About The Client

Client is a UK-based fashion brand focused on premium matching outfits for families. The company offers coordinated clothing collections designed to strengthen family connections through fashion, allowing parents and children to wear complementary styles together. The brand emphasizes quality, style, and memorable family experiences through its unique product offerings.

As the product catalog expanded, client required a more intuitive way for customers to purchase matching outfits for multiple family members without navigating through numerous individual products.

Business Challenges

The existing shopping experience presented several challenges:

Complex Product Selection Process

Customers needed to locate and purchase separate products for each family member, creating friction during the buying journey.

Family Matching Complexity

A single family outfit could involve products for: Father, Mother, Boy Cub and Girl Cub. Managing these relationships using standard Shopify functionality was difficult.

User Experience Challenges

Customers wanted an easy way to build complete family outfit sets without switching between multiple product pages.

Product Management Difficulties

Managing related products manually increased administrative effort and created opportunities for errors.

Conversion Optimization

Reducing purchase friction was essential to encourage larger basket sizes and increase average order value.

Our Solution & Strategy

HailySoft LLP designed and developed a completely custom family matching product architecture within Shopify.

Instead of treating every family member’s clothing item as an independent product, we introduced a parent-child product relationship model.

The solution enabled customers to start with a primary product and dynamically select matching clothing options for:

  • Father
  • Mother
  • Boy Cub
  • Girl Cub

Each family member’s matching item could be selected directly from the same product page, creating a highly intuitive shopping experience.

This approach simplified the customer journey while preserving Shopify’s inventory, variant, and order management capabilities.

Key Features

Custom Family Matching Outfit Builder

A unique product experience allowing customers to build complete matching family outfits from a single page. Customers can select matching items for Father, Mother, Boy Cub and Girl Cub without leaving the product page.

Parent-Child Product Architecture

We developed a custom relationship system where: Main product acts as the parent product Related family products are assigned as child products Dynamic product associations are managed efficiently This created flexibility for future collection expansion.

Independent Size Selection

Each family member can have their own size selection. For example, Father(Large), Mother(Medium), Boy Cub(Age 5), Girl Cub(Age 8), All selections can be completed within a unified shopping interface.

Single Shopping Flow

Instead of navigating multiple product pages, customers complete the entire outfit selection process from one location. This significantly improves usability and reduces cart abandonment.

Mobile-Optimized Experience

The entire matching outfit builder was optimized for mobile shoppers, ensuring smooth interactions across all devices.

Scalable Product Management

Administrators can easily assign new matching family products to existing collections without complex manual processes.
