About Gustavo
Gustavo Apiti is a luxury fashion designer based in Seattle, specializing in bespoke suits, formalwear, and high-end fashion events.
As his clientele and event presence grew, Gustavo wanted to create a centralized e-commerce platform that would unify shopping, event booking, and consultation scheduling—reflecting the premium nature of his brand and giving him full control over customer interactions and revenues.
To achieve this, he partnered with MoonDive for expert e-commerce website design and end-to-end e-commerce website making—ensuring the final solution was not just functional, but also visually aligned with his high-end brand identity.
