Background and objectives

Kaloes faces three major challenges in its digital transformation.

Since 2000, the brand has embodied Malagasy craftsmanship with passion and authenticity. Based in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, the brand began its adventure by manufacturing raffia accessories, mainly crochet bags and tote bags, bearing witness to ancestral know-how. Today, with over 800 craftsmen at its side, Kaloes has become an essential reference in the field of crocheted raffia, recognized by the greatest fashion houses.

Strategic positioning for luxury

Kaloes wanted to break down the prejudices associated with Malagasy craftsmanship, often perceived as incompatible with the codes of luxury. The aim was to create an online boutique that reflected a modern, premium aesthetic worthy of the greatest French houses, while sublimating Malagasy authenticity and know-how.

An intuitive, easy-to-manage platform

With a small team, it needed a custom e-commerce site that was easy to administer and perfectly suited to managing its complex catalog. The aim was to ensure total autonomy for content updating, order management and future expansion.

A strong digital identity for the international launch

With no significant digital presence, the company wanted to create a site that would serve as a strategic entry point into the international market. The aim was to build a strong brand image, adapted to the expectations of luxury consumers, while preparing the brand to integrate long-term multi-channel strategies.
