Thanks to its essential and modern design, the Valentino Garavani DeVain perfectly lends itself to the Maison’s creative expression.
Recognizing its potential, Valentino chose to make it a focal point of the collection, launching the bag in a wide array of variations that explore different colors, materials, and intricate details.
THE CHALLENGE
To celebrate this release, Valentino introduced an exclusive customization initiative: offering clients the opportunity to engrave their initials on the bag’s tag. Our challenge was to design a digital application that answered a dual strategic brief. First, it needed to act as a drive-to-store asset, shared remotely by Client Advisors to spark desire and invite clients into the boutique.
Second, it served as a crucial in-store clienteling tool. For customers already exploring the collection in person, Advisors could use the interface directly on their iPads to visually demonstrate the premium engraving service and facilitate the upsell.
APPROACH
We envisioned a user journey that instantly immerses the client in the creative process. Flipping the traditional e-commerce narrative, users are immediately invited to customize their DeVain bag with up to three characters right from the start. Once a model is selected, they land on a dynamic preview screen where they can seamlessly tweak their initials, toggle formatting, and swap bags with
a single tap, watching their bespoke details update in real-time. Since the application was designed to be handled by Client Advisors during live consultations, we optimized the interface for iPad interactions. Under the hood, we engineered a highly performant React Single Page Application to guarantee a lightning-fast, premium digital environment.
RESULT
The platform successfully empowered Client Advisors both remotely and on the shop floor, transforming a digital interaction into a tangible boutique experience. By integrating a custom analytics architecture, we also enabled the brand to monitor engagement, tracking the most desired models and popular personalization trends.
The initiative resonated strongly with Valentino’s clientele, and the robust technical foundation we built proved its strategic worth immediately. Thanks to its highly scalable architecture, we smoothly executed three subsequent releases over the following months, seamlessly introducing new seasonal variations into the catalog without ever compromising the platform’s premium performance.
“Avant les Débuts” was more than just a campaign; it was Valentino’s strategic curtain-raiser for the new creative director’s debut collection, Pavillon des Folies.
To amplify its global impact, a curated selection of hero products, including the 9TO5 bag, the BAY BY BAY line, and Strong Chunky Geometric Sunglasses, have been strategically chosen for dedicated worldwide marketing activations.
THE CHALLENGE
Our challenge was to create the essential digital touchpoint for this global product launch: a series of 3D landing pages, where the selected products held central prominence. The core task was to design and develop highly modular components that could not only enrich the storytelling and elevate the perceived value of each product, but also clearly communicate their specific characteristics.
A key complexity was the requirement for personalization: each landing page needed to host a different 3D model, and various interactive elements had to be adaptable. For instance, sometimes product galleries were absent, other times virtual try-on or AR features were required, and conversion points varied from directing users to Valentino’s virtual boutiques to E-commerce landing pages.
APPROACH
Our process began with intensive brainstorming to uncover creative solutions, ultimately leading us to opt for a scroll-telling 3D experience, developed with Three.js. To ensure economic sustainability we intentionally avoid a traditional CMS and focused on crafting a robust system of modular components, that could be flexibly combined or omitted for each specific product landing page, allowing for tailored experiences.
For each product, collaborating with Valentino Digital Teams, we’ve collected supportive content and 3D models to then crafted the UI Design and prototyped its unique movement and interaction along the page.
RESULT
We achieved extensive customizability across all elements: texts, media, textures, links, and buttons could be dynamically altered to meet diverse campaign needs.
This strategic approach proved highly successful in fostering agility, enabling landing pages to be easily duplicated and modified for varied applications such as one-to-one presentations, driving boutique traffic, integration into Valentino’s consumer app for e-commerce, or adapting content (like hiding specific textures) for regional requirements.
Geologie it’s US Skincare brand that offers to customers a personalized skincare service on subscription
Geologie was founded by Nick Allen and Dave Skaff, friends and innovators, with a shared vision to create the very best skincare experience for men. That includes not only the very best products but the very best service too.
THE CHALLENGE
Geologie wants to make his entrance into the E-sports and gaming world to be the first skincare brand to do a marketing operation with this kind of media. Also, one of the client’s challenges was to open up a Twitch channel.
Our goal was to build brand awareness within the Esport racing world, that perfectly fits Geologie’s target. So we need to create all the livery and assets into the game to deliver them to our Ambassador.
THE CHALLENGE
After creating the assets, we began to sponsor a US E-sport driver (Cyrus) that used the Geologie merchandise during his lives and to promote the brand with his followers. We also created a landing page to let the participants subscribe, and some Instagram galleries post to engage our audience
We also organized a complete Cup on Gran Turismo Sport composed of 3 races on different weekends with prizes for the top-3 positions including a prize of 500$ and an annual subscription to Geologie’s service. All the races went live on Geologie’s twitch channel created for the occasion and have been commented by IGTL. During the live, some giveaways have been provided to the users connected.
RESULTS
We had a pretty good result for the first operation with such a low budget obtaining a new Branded twitch channel with more than 170 people connected, watching, and commenting during the live stream, so we made it to create a twitch channel for the brand with more than 100 subscribers.
There were also some give away of brand products during the live session on twitch in order to engaging the users to start a skincare routine after the trial set gifted. So probably we set down the first skin care brand gaming activation worldwide. We really say thanks to all the Geologie team to gave us a chance to collaborate on this project.
