Lemie

An editorial black-and-white poster store where the theme leads, the shopping experience reads like a magazine, and the posters carry all the colour.

Lemie, in action.

An editorial poster store where the site is deliberately black-and-white, so the artwork does all the shouting.

A poster store built like an editorial magazine.

Lemie is an Ikonik-owned poster brand , a South African print store where every page reads like a fashion editorial rather than a category grid. The site is intentionally black-and-white: Bodoni Moda for the headlines, Passions Conflict for the accents, generous negative space, no accent colour anywhere on the chrome. The colour lives in the posters themselves. Built on a custom WooCommerce theme, the store is designed to make each product feel curated instead of listed. Editorial hero panels, one-poster-per-row hero features, essayed collection intros.

Poster stores all look the same.

The default poster-store template is a colourful grid: bright category tiles, a busy hero, ten thumbnails per row. It's optimised for browsing, not for choosing. The artwork gets flattened into a wall of stamps , and every store ends up looking like every other store.

Theme first, posters carry the colour.

A custom WooCommerce theme with an editorial layout system , and a strict rule that the chrome stays out of the way.

Custom WooCommerce theme with feature panels, essayed collection intros and one-poster-per-row hero slots , more magazine than grid.

chrome, coloured art

Every part of the site chrome is black and white. Only the poster artwork carries colour, so it always reads as the point.

Print pipeline

Keepers → Woo export → headless import pipeline that keeps the catalogue in sync between the art side and the shop side without manual re-entry.

A poster store that feels designed, not templated.

The theme is built and the catalogue is loading. When the store opens, the point will be obvious the moment you land: this is a shop that respects its own product.
