Mulberry WeChat Microsite

We created an interactive luxury shopping experience for the Mulberry brand for the China market. Users could experience the Mulberry shop through WeChat on their phones.

Users could pan their phone screens left or right to get a panoramic view of the inside the Mulberry virtual store as well as interact with and buy the products.

The microsite was successfully launched on Weibo and WeChat.
