Harvey Nichols
Harvey Nichols, established in 1831 in London’s Knightsbridge, is an iconic name in luxury retail, known for its curated designer fashion, premium beauty collections, and exceptional gourmet experiences. With a footprint spanning the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East, the brand harmoniously blends digital innovation with in-store sophistication. We developed their eCommerce platform on Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce using PHP and GraphQL, alongside native mobile applications built with Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS. The result is a refined, high-performance digital shopping experience that reflects Harvey Nichols’ commitment to exclusivity, elegance, and personalized service.
