Young entrepreneurs Mark and Amy have embarked on a new venture "Vintage Child" finding and selling retro-fashion, vintage clothing - for those seeking the classic look of times past.
Creating a successful fashion website is all about being able to provide the user with the features they expect such as 'complete the look' which, in this case, could be based on the style, era, accessory, fabric etc. Drupal 7 was perfectly adept at handling these variables.
Retro Design meets Cutting Edge Tech!
The site is a stunning example of a 100% bespoke design, crafted to compliment the very essence of vintage retro fashion.
