Thieves Collection is an Australian premium whisky and bourbon label with a story worth telling. Born from a century-old legend of a prison distiller named Henry Simm, the brand carries real weight, and an award shelf to match, with International Best Australian Whisky 2025 among its haul. We've built two websites for Thieves Collection, each reflecting exactly where the brand was at the time.

What we built.

Version One

The first site launched Thieves Collection into the world. Taking cues from their sister company Running with Thieves, it was dark, moody, and direct, the right energy for a brand making its first impression and finding its feet.

The Full Story

Once Thieves Collection had its bearings, the second site was built around what made them worth paying attention to: the story with full-bleed imagery, immersive video, and richly designed story pages.

The Whisky Finder

One of the standout custom builds is a tool that lets users dial in their preferences across palette, smell, taste, and profile, and spits out a personalised bottle recommendation.

The Auction Tool

For one-off premium and collectors edition bottles, we built a custom auctioning tool directly into the Shopify storefront. A bespoke solution for a product that deserves more than a standard add-to-cart.

Story-Led Design

The Our Story page is the heart of the second site, a long-form, visually rich experience that takes the Henry Simm origin story and gives it the cinematic treatment it deserves.

Built On Shopify

Both versions run on Shopify, giving the Thieves Collection team a solid commercial foundation, product management, checkout, and collections all handled natively, with our custom tools layered on top.

Thieves Collection is one of those clients that grows with you. The first website was about getting them launched, establishing a look and feel, making a statement, and giving the brand a home. By the time we came back for the second build, everything had changed: the product range had expanded, the awards had started rolling in, and the story had become the most powerful thing in their arsenal. So we built around it. The second site leans hard into video and full-image layouts because that's what the brand earned: the confidence to slow down, let the visuals do the work, and trust that anyone who lands on the page will stay.

Two websites, one brand that knew what it wanted to become. Thieves Collection now has a digital presence as considered and crafted as what's inside the bottle. Raise a glass.
