Aspinal of London

CASE STUDY

Localisation and optimisation of eCommerce website, permitting Japanese customers to browse and buy products in Yen.

Aspinal of London produces handmade leather goods, gifts and accessories for all occasions. Its focus is on quality – both of the product and the service customers can expect to receive.

Aspinal needed a world-class website to maximise their presence in the Japanese market, take advantage of the Japanese passion for all things typically British, and to participate in one of the most developed internet economies in the world.
