Spring Shopping Season: Best Digital Catalogs In 2023

A digital catalog containing the right combination of color, photography, copy, and design can enable brands to deliver the perfect, unadulterated spring shopping inspiration for their customers — and from where they can shop directly.

Whether it’s washes of bright yellows, displays of ocean blue, forest green collections, or shots of chic and classic looks — we’ll show you six examples of home décor and fashion brands that have published truly magnificent spring catalogs.

Digital home décor and furniture catalogs for spring 2022

In no particular order, for this category, we’ve selected the following brands to show you that have each published digital catalogs for the 2022 spring shopping season:

  • MoMA (Museum of Modern Art Design Store)
  • Crate & Barrel
  • Dekoria

For each brand, you’ll see a few shots of what their catalog looks like and some of the features available when you publish a catalog online. There’s also a link to each brand’s online catalog.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Design Store

First up is MoMA, which has published a spring/summer digital catalog containing a curated selection of its products and collections for the shopping season ahead. While not strictly a home décor brand, we wanted to include it in this section as it contains many home products.

Art, style, and creativity

We’re sure the brand’s artistic and iconic use of color, style, and design won’t go unnoticed when shoppers look through the catalog. We feel that this combination inspires shoppers to explore what’s on offer and learn more about the brand.

We particularly like how the brand features snippets of branded editorial throughout the catalog to elaborate on things like product background information or to offer design tips.

We also like how MoMA’s spring/summer catalog delights browsers with a range of outdoor collections, giving shoppers a taste of the warmer weather that’s just around the corner, and features a range of its modern product ranges for different rooms in the home.

Takeaways: We love how MoMA’s vibrant palette of yellows, oranges, and reds on the front cover entices and gives us a taste of what’s to come this summer. We like how the catalog unfolds into the brand’s contemporary collections of Home Décor products. Shoppable product images with product overlays feature throughout.

Crate & Barrel

We think that Crate & Barrel’s spring lookbook is a publication that makes for a truly unique collection of modern Home Décor and furniture products. Both photography and design are clean and curated.

QR codes

The brand’s catalog features a QR code at the bottom of some product ranges and collections for shoppers to discover similar products or even to access recipes:

We like how the catalog includes snippets of editorial alongside its collections or to show a customer review:

Dekoria

Last but certainly not least of the home furniture brands is Dekoria. We particularly like the displays of stylish and classic furniture collections combined with the ambiance of spring and the colors it brings to us.

Online catalogs and lookbooks published by fashion brands

For the fashion category, we’ve selected the following three brands that published a spring 2022 catalog (in no particular order):

  • Cuyana
  • Boggi milano
  • Bobby Jones

Cuyana

Cuyana is a women’s premium apparel and accessories brand whose mission is ‘to encourage shoppers to purchase fewer but better-quality pieces they will love and treasure for years to come.’ And we really get the impression that their spring 2022 catalog beautifully encapsulates the brand’s philosophy.

Cuyana’s catalog engages customers from the very start with a shoppable cover, where browsers can click on the ‘+’ icon to bring up more product details and shop the look.

Starting from Publitas’ Gold Plan, you can add product overlays to publications which are particularly useful for giving more product details, showing more images, complimentary items, or all products from an entire look.

Summary: We feel that Cuyana’s catalog provides a seductive discovery shopping experience from start to finish. Each look is made shoppable with clickable product hotspots, which give more product details, show all items from the look, and direct customers to the brand’s webshop.

Boggi Milano

Next up is Italian menswear brand Boggi Milano, whose digital catalog includes a range of stylish spring collections for shoppers to browse through, such as ‘Urban Hiking’, ‘The Green Soul’, or ‘Performance Attitude’. Their catalog also contains GIFs on some pages (below).

Fashion labels might want to include GIFs in their digital publications to show different looks to shoppers without them having to experience the friction that navigating through filters or more pages often brings.

Bobby Jones

Lastly, we wanted to mention the high-quality golf clothing brand Bobby Jones and its spring 2022 catalog featuring its menswear collection.

We feel that Bobby Jones’ catalog does an outstanding job cleanly showcasing its classic looks, placing clickable product icons near each item in the layout. It makes the catalog shopping experience easier, where shoppers can find more product details or be directed to make a purchase.

Summary

Digital publications can be truly inspirational, especially for shoppers who ‘just want to have a look.’ Shoppers can discover products, engage with the catalog’s content, and shop directly from them.

Shoppable rich media — such as GIFs, videos, and high-quality product shots — combined with branded editorial, stories, or customer reviews can help you capture more of these shoppers who are just browsing and who want to look through an unadulterated brand expression.
