The brief this store was built from
Spar & Bridle is a two room workshop in Seaview, Washington, a short walk from the Long Beach Peninsula sand. Ines Halvorsen sewed racing sails for twenty two years before she turned the same ripstop and the same double stitched seams to kites. Every delta is cut by hot knife on a plywood table, framed with Sitka spruce spars she planes herself, and test flown on the beach before it is rolled into its sleeve.
- Product
- Seven Foot Delta Kite, $96
- About it
- A seven foot single line delta in indigo and sunflower ripstop with Sitka spruce spars, a forty foot tail and two hundred feet of line on a wooden winder. It lifts in a breeze of about six miles an hour and rolls into a canvas sleeve.
- Brand facts
- Every kite is test flown on the Long Beach Peninsula before it ships. Spars are Sitka spruce, planed in the workshop, not fibreglass. Made by a sailmaker who sewed racing sails for twenty two years.

- Trend Shop. Trendy fashion — icon logo, thin serif heading
Who this theme is for
A small maker selling one bright, physical toy that is bought for a day out: kites, frisbees, wooden boats, beach games. The buyers are parents planning a weekend at the coast and adults who flew kites as kids, so the page leads with the kite in the sky, then the stitching up close, then the cutting table, and keeps the price, the wind it needs and what comes in the sleeve near the top. The Trend Shop layout uses a large single product hero and a strong accent button, which suits a catalog of one.
What was decided in the brief
The style is Trend Shop on its second variant. The primary is the deep indigo of the kite sail and the accent is its sunflower yellow, so the storefront is coloured like the product in the air. The brand facts lead with the beach test flight because a buyer wants to know the kite actually flies, and the twenty two years of racing sails come last because that is where the double stitched seams come from.

Questions
- Is this Shopify theme really free?
- Yes. You download a complete Shopify 2.0 theme ZIP and no account is needed. In your Shopify admin go to Online Store, then Themes, then Add theme, then Upload zip file.
- A kite ships in a long tube. How do I charge the right postage?
- Enter the packed length, width and weight on the product, then set shipping rates by weight in Settings, then Shipping and delivery. If your carrier charges by size, carrier calculated rates read those dimensions at checkout.
- Can I sell spare line and replacement spars alongside the kite?
- Yes. Add them as separate low priced products and turn on product recommendations, or list them in a collection called Spares so a buyer who snapped a spar finds it in one click.
