We approached shopbop known for being one of the hottest online e-commerce websites for the newest and latest in fashion for women with a concept for a equivalent dedicated to men only online e-commerce website called East Dane. East Dane does for men what shopbop does for women; providing attainable stylish trends from leading designers as well as up and coming new designers with 24 hours 7 days a week customer service and free shipping.
East Dane is very similar in look and style to shopbop, not only is the interfacing clean, streamlined, easy to use and somewhat resembling an Instagram ad, it but also includes editorial items, look books, product information and recommendations. New to East Dane is 'Curated Assortments' which allows men to find their wardrobe through 'The Shops'. Once you sign up for a free account on East Dane you can personalize your shopping experience by having separate areas for favorite designers, favorite pieces, and a wish list.
We saw an opportunity in the market for an approachable shopping environment that is tailored specifically for the male perspective and their shopping habits, we understand this is not about cloning shopbop for men, but about creating a customized experience for guys with the ultimate combination of merchandise, customer service and usability that meets their needs. East Dane's merchandise assortment is a strategic mix of popular favorites and up-and-coming brands to appeal to every guy, from the creature of habit to the more adventurous type who wants to take a fashion risk but may need a bit of guidance,
