Shopify Designer for a Modern-Luxury Wine Brand — Premium Theme Customization

Description: I'm launching a modern-luxury wine brand built to feel nothing like a typical wine shop — editorial, confident, and beautifully restrained, closer to a high-end modern fashion or fragrance brand than a winery site. I'm looking for a designer with real taste to build my Shopify store on a premium theme template, customized so it feels distinctly ours — not a template anyone could recognize. Here's what's already done, so you can move fast: Logo and wine label — fully designed Brand colors, typography, and complete website copy — finalized and ready to drop in 2–3 reference sites I love — I'll share once we connect One product for now (a Pinot Noir), more coming — the build should scale cleanly to a small, growing catalog Scope: Recommend and set up a premium Shopify theme fitting a modern-luxury aesthetic Customize fully to my brand: logo, label imagery, color, type, spacing, layout Build these sections from my copy: Hero, Product, Founder's story, a simple "What's next" poll, and a "Join the club" email sign-up Mobile-first, clean, fast-loading Use AI-generated images as placeholders (some may later be swapped for real photography, some may remain, consider copyrights) Age verification + basic US alcohol-compliance setup (shipping/state limits) I can guide you. Payment and core app config, product upload (1 SKU) UX optimized to reduce friction and guide visitors toward purchase QA across devices before launch Aesthetic direction: Generous white space, gorgeous typography, restraint over decoration. The design should feel like a deliberate choice, not a default. I care deeply about craft — spacing, type, and the small details. Not in scope (please don't quote for these): Custom theme from scratch / headless Loyalty-points system and member logins (a later phase) Heavy scroll animations SEO or marketing To apply, please include: 2–3 links to premium/luxury Shopify stores you've built (live links, not screenshots) Your cost and timeline for the scope above One line: a theme you'd suggest for this brand, and why Applications without portfolio links won't be reviewed — I'm hiring on taste first.
