Saratelier — curated fashion, in four languages

Curated fashion,
in four languages.

Saratelier is a women’s fashion boutique in Macedonia with a hand-picked edit of blouses, outerwear, skirts and accessories — embroidered jackets, lace blouses, pleated midis — chosen for premium materials and finishing touches.

The brief was an online store that feels as considered as the pieces themselves, speaks to every customer in their own language, and is simple enough for a small team to run day to day.

The challenge
/01
A multilingual audience

Customers shop in Macedonian, Albanian, Turkish and English — every page, product and collection had to read naturally in all four.

/02
Small-batch inventory

Pieces arrive in limited runs and sizes sell out fast, so stock and variants needed to be accurate and visible at a glance.

/03
Editorial look, retail speed

A fashion-magazine feel without slowing down browsing or checkout on mobile.

/04
Easy to run

Adding new arrivals had to be quick for the owner, with no developer in the loop.

Shopify for the engine,
Atelier for the look.

We built Saratelier on Shopify, so the boutique gets hosted checkout, payments and order management out of the box. The storefront runs on Shopify’s Atelier theme, tailored to the brand — a serif wordmark, a full-bleed editorial hero, generous whitespace and a restrained black-and-white UI that lets the photography lead.

Content is localized with Shopify’s native translations: each language lives on its own URL (/sq, /mk, /tr) behind a language switcher in the header, and prices are shown in Macedonian denars.

Key features
/01
Four-language storefront

English, Albanian, Macedonian and Turkish, with translated navigation, collections and product content.

/02
Clear collection structure

Store, New Arrivals, Tops, Outerwear, Bottoms, Accessories and Sale — the whole catalogue one tap from the header.

/03
Variant-ready catalog

Size and colour variants, sold-out states and crossed-out sale pricing, so availability is always honest.

/04
Editorial merchandising

New arrivals, shop-by-collection tiles and category rails on the home page, all managed from the theme editor.

/05
Mobile-first shopping

Swipeable product galleries, quick-add from the grid, a sticky add-to-cart and built-in chat for sizing questions.
