Studio Almond launch Blunt Umbrellas 2.0 on Shopify Plus

We're excited to unveil our recent project for Blunt Umbrellas. Our partnership with Blunt Umbrellas has been a journey of collaboration.

The site has already won the UX, UI, Innovation and Special Kudos awards from CSS Design Awards and been listed as a finalist in the NZ Best Awards, and we are excited how the reception the site has received so far from customers, clients, and of course the Blunt team themselves.

Prior to diving into the project, our team had the opportunity to join an enlightening session at AUT with Blunt’s founder, Greg, who shared insights into the evolution of Blunt Umbrellas. This deep dive help us dig into their brand narrative and enriched our approach to the digital interpretation of the brand, ensuring a seamless and user-centric experience.

Here’s what the new site brings to the table:
