We moved The Travelwrap Company from Magento 1 to Magento 2 and built the store a custom theme. Monograms, gift wrap and a gift message now sit right next to Add to bag. We look after the store every month, so the team can get on with the cashmere.

Before

Fine cashmere. A shop that had run out of road.

Wraps in dozens of colours and three weights. Monograms, gift wrap and gift notes. Orders from all over the world. The old store ran on Magento 1, which stopped getting security fixes in June 2020.

  1. Gifting took too many steps.

    Monograms and gift wrap had their own pages, away from the product. Gift buyers had to hunt for them, or phone the team to ask.

  2. A platform with no more fixes.

    Magento 1 had reached its end of life. No more security patches, and fewer extensions that still worked with it.

  3. Slow and fiddly on phones.

    Big photos, small buttons. Most shoppers browse on a phone, and the old theme was made for a desk.

How it’s structured

How we did it, layer by layer.

Like a Travelwrap, the store is woven in layers, one thread over another. Watch it come apart and see what each layer does. Skip ahead whenever you like, or drag the drawing to turn it.

The catalogue, kept in Magento.

This is where Travelwrap’s team works. Products, colours, edits and pages all live in the Magento admin. Change a price, press Save, done.

  • Each wrap is one product, with its colours and sizes inside it.
  • Monthly picks, edits and journal posts are everyday content, not code.
  • A new colour goes live from normal Magento screens. No developer needed.

Product data: stock, prices and extras.

Every wrap carries the details a good shop assistant would know, ready for the theme to show.

  • Size, weight, yarn, price and stock for every colour.
  • Monogramming, gift wrap and a free gift message are options on the product, so they go in the basket with it.
  • Shoppers pick the country they ship to, and see prices to match.

The theme, built by Coullweb.

Our custom Magento 2 theme takes the data and builds each page from reusable parts: header, banners, product cards and the gift options.

  • Made for this store and no other, on phones and big screens.
  • One template serves every product. Another serves every category, from wraps to socks.
  • The monogram, gift wrap and message sit right next to Add to bag.

Delivery: quick, even with big photos.

Cashmere sells on photos. Before a page reaches you, they are sized for your screen and the page is ready to go.

  • Each photo is saved as WebP in several widths, from 320 to 2,400 pixels. Phones get small files.
  • Photos further down the page load only when you scroll to them.
  • Magento’s full-page cache serves popular pages straight away.
  • Images and files go out through a CDN, close to each shopper.

The finished page.

All four layers, woven flat into one page. This is the live Travelwrap homepage, captured in October 2026.

  • What shoppers see is calm and simple. The layers underneath keep it that way.
  • Every page in the store is built the same way, from the same parts.

Highlights

Some of our favourite bits.

Three parts of the Travelwrap store we especially enjoyed building.

  • The Bramble Purple Cashmere Wrap product page: photos, price, a choice of Classic or Oversized, and rows to add monogramming, gift wrap and a gift message.

    Product page

    Size, monogram, gift wrap and a message, all on the page, right by the button.

  • The cashmere wraps category page: a sticky bar with sort and filter above product cards showing each wrap’s size, yarn and price.

    Category page

    Size and yarn on every card, and a sort and filter bar that stays with you as you scroll.

  • The personalisation page: monogrammed cashmere in the Isla font, the Skye font and a heart icon.

    Monogramming

    Isla, Skye or a small icon, shown stitched on real cashmere before you choose.

FAQ

Questions about this build.

Thinking about something similar? These are the questions we hear most.

Each wrap comes in several colours and sizes, with a monogram, gift wrap and a message on top. Orders go all over the world. Magento 2 handles that kind of detail well, and it can be shaped to fit the business.

Products, customers and past orders move across to the new store. The theme can’t come with them, so we built a new one. Redirects send old links to the right new pages, so search rankings and saved links keep working.

It depends on your products and your team. Smaller stores are often happier on Shopify. Magento suits big catalogues and lots of options. We’ll tell you honestly which fits, and why. See Shopify development.

Yes. We start with a careful look under the bonnet, then fix what matters most first. Book a call and we’ll send a short plan with a fixed price. See Magento 2 development for how we work.
