Russ and Robbie's Dilemma
Founded in 1989, Baby Beau and Belle designs and manufactures upscale, heirloom-quality garments for babies to wear on the most special days of their lives. Each outfit is a timeless, classic design that’s crafted using ultra-soft materials. They’re pieces meant for today’s little ones to wear on their christenings, baptisms, or birthdays and then to be saved and passed on to the next generation.
Having been in business more than 30 years, Russ and Robbie have a loyal base of customers, but they came to us needing to grow their online presence to reach new customers. Even though more than 80% of their traffic was via mobile, their existing site wasn’t mobile-friendly. This stagnation in their technology manifested as a plateau in their sales in previous years.
We are wanting to stay current with the changing website technology and updated requirements set by Google and Amazon as well as the shifting expectations from customers when buying online. Our goal is to see increased monthly sales and increased ROI from our marketing efforts.
It was time for Baby Beau and Belle’s identity and technology to appeal to the next generation, a feat they’d already achieved with their product offerings.

Our Solutions
Our team came up with a plan to update the brand identity and website to not only reflect the company’s elegant and refined aesthetic, but also appeal to a younger, more tech-engaged set of parents and gift-givers.
With beautiful products, gorgeous existing product photography and a fairly solid logo, our team’s branding focus was to modify the existing logo and design a complementary suite of graphic elements to allow for the display of a classic aesthetic across the site, on social media and in print.
For the new website, the primary focus was creating a usability experience as elegant as the aesthetic. With such a high percentage of mobile shoppers, intuitive navigation and ease-of-use were key. And for a company that’s been around as long as Baby Beau and Belle, we wanted to create a site that would offer the flexibility to allow for the next couple decades of continued growth.

Identity
Logo
Baby Beau and Belle logo design by Jess Levitz
Branding Solutions
Rather than redesign Baby Beau and Belle’s logo, designer Jess expanded on the already established elements to create a new classic and elegant aesthetic. To showcase the brand’s history and expertise, she designed a simple stacked version of the logo that featured an “est’d 1989” signature. A new seal, which really shines when embossed on foil or paper, helps carry the new brand identity to the unboxing experience.
To bring some visual variety to the brand’s identity while still staying true to its original colors, Jess incorporated lower opacities into the new branding guide. Silhouette illustration styling throughout adds a subtle vintage inspired element to the visual identity, and the typography beautiful merges an editorial style with web-friendliness.
Jess explains, “the main headlines font has the editorial look of the logo but is more legible for web. The small all-caps font is a nice elegant san-serif that pairs well with the editorial styles. The body copy is a classic Cormorant Garamond that reads well online but has an elegant look.”
Website
Website Solutions
Inspired by the sophisticated, clean warmth of the collateral that Jess designed, designer Do-Hee focused on creating an equally fresh and immersive shopping experience for the brand’s new website. Just as Baby Beau and Belle’s products are designed to last, the new website was made with legacy in mind.
“It is very important to us that we not only create a design that accommodates Baby Beau and Belle’s current needs but also one that is also flexible and scalable for the future,” Do-Hee explained.
She balanced the brand’s colors with white space throughout the page design for a modern, welcoming feel. Subtle load-animations help create a more contemporary, visually rich experience while flex spaces, such as collection and category slots, showcase the company’s strongest offerings. The stars of the home page are two beautifully-branded hero images with two calls to action that lead visitors to a Boys shopping area and a Girls shopping area.
