Magento to Shopify Plus —
11,000 SKUs, replicated 1:1.
Cos Bar is a premier luxury multi-brand beauty retailer. As a long-term partner, we guided a complex migration off Magento to Shopify Plus — a pixel-faithful rebuild of their storefront with a catalog of over 11,000 SKUs and a full third-party stack.
Founded in Aspen in 1976 — luxury beauty, curated.
Cos Bar built a client-centered sales experience and a carefully curated selection of the world’s best beauty brands. With omni-channel and geographic expansion ahead, the brand is bringing its retail style to a broader audience.
Archical Digital has partnered with Cos Bar for over a year, guiding them through a complex migration from Magento to a Shopify Plus instance.
The project involved a 1:1 replication of Cos Bar’s frontend in a Shopify 2.0 theme, integrating third-party services like Nosto and Gorgias, and configuring a large product catalog of over 11,000 SKUs.
