FluffyFlowers.rs
Boutique e-commerce storefront for handcrafted wire plush flowers.
01. Context & Objectives
FluffyFlowers.rs is an online boutique shop dedicated to handcrafted plush wire florals. The client required a bespoke digital storefront reflecting their playful and artisanal identity without the slow overhead and bloated monthly costs of generic e-commerce templates.
