Step inside the live store
Since 1971
Five decades of SA retail trust, now online
What we walked into
Binuns has been on South African high streets since 1971 — an authorised retailer for brands like Kenwood, and a household name in kitchenware and homeware. The legacy customer base is older, registry-driven and brand-loyal — the kind of audience that will abandon a platform mid-checkout if the experience feels off.
We replatformed the whole catalog without losing a beat of in-store voice. Free delivery on orders over R500, a 14-day returns policy, secure checkout and authorised-retailer trust cues sit alongside the brand's flagship gift registry — the most-loved feature of the old site, now wrapped in wishlists, account management and a guest-friendly browsing journey.
The Challenge
A 50-year-old retail icon doing eight-figure annual revenue needed a digital home worthy of its in-store legacy — without alienating a loyal base of registry-driven shoppers.
Our Move
Confident heritage typography, premium product styling, brand-led storytelling, and a gift registry as the flagship feature for the most-trusted kitchenware brand in the country.
Full eCommerce replatform with a custom gift registry, wishlist and account system. Built to scale across thousands of SKUs while keeping the heritage brand voice intact.
