CASE STUDY
Gallery Leather
For over 40 years, Gallery Leather has built its reputation on quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. But in the digital age, even timeless brands need to keep up with technology.
To elevate their website and bring it in line with modern standards, Gallery Leather teamed up with Mageplaza to upgrade their platform and improve site performance.
GALLERY LEATHER
A Brand Rooted in Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Nestled on the coast of Maine, Gallery Leather handcrafts premium leather goods that have become staples for top luxury brands in North America. Their products are known not just for their elegance, but for their long-lasting quality.
What sets Gallery Leather apart is their commitment to the environment. They use bonded leather made from at least 70% recycled cowhide fibers - far above industry requirements - and ensure compliance with rigorous environmental and safety standards.
GALLERY LEATHER
Outdated Platform, Underperforming Site
Before working with Mageplaza, Gallery Leather’s website was running on an older version of Magento (2.4.3). This outdated setup caused slow loading times, technical limitations, and poor performance on both desktop and mobile devices.
With Google PageSpeed scores falling below expectations, the team knew it was time for a major digital upgrade. The challenge was clear: modernize the site without losing the classic feel of the brand.
GALLERY LEATHER
A Modern Makeover That Boosted Performance
Mageplaza delivered a full Magento upgrade to version 2.4.7-p3, while also implementing the Hyvä theme for better frontend performance. They developed all pages based on Gallery Leather’s existing design, ensuring a smooth transition.
The transformation was impressive:
With their new website, Gallery Leather can now give customers the same premium experience online that they offer through their handcrafted leather goods.
