What they do
dutil. is a premium denim manufacturer and seller.
Over the years, they’ve developed a reputation for making the most comprehensive and ethically sourced denim collections available to a diverse range of customers.
The challenge behind the innovation
Many of the jeans we sell are Unisex, which provided a number of issues in terms of merchandising product.
We fixed this by switching all product thumbnails over to off-body flat lays, and creating a Custom Field for Gender: Female, Male + Unisex.
How they make it work
By offering a custom field option, we let customers filter by gender, to show men’s, women’s and/or Unisex products.
BigCommerce also lets products go into multiple categories, which let us have the same item in a men’s and women’s section of the website.
Final word
With BigCommerce, we are finally able to sell unisex jeans to both genders.
