How to do this layout on dawn theme?

Topic summary

A user seeks to replicate Balenciaga’s collection page layout (clean grid with borders, centered text, minimal styling) on the Dawn theme. The reference shows products in a structured grid with square images and simple typography.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Custom section approach: Create a horizontal featured collection using flexbox/grid with horizontal scrolling, remove default borders/hover effects, and use consistent square image ratios with centered product details.

  • CSS customization: A detailed CSS snippet was provided that:

    • Removes default grid spacing
    • Adds borders between grid items
    • Centers product information
    • Creates the bordered grid structure similar to the reference
    • Should be added to Theme Settings > Custom CSS due to character limits

Screenshots included demonstrate the CSS solution’s output, showing a grid layout with borders and centered product information that closely matches the Balenciaga aesthetic.

Multiple respondents confirm this requires Dawn theme customization beyond default settings.

Hello @article ,

Need to customize the dawn theme if you need a look like the reference.

you can get pretty close to that layout using the dawn theme with a few custom tweaks. here’s a simple way to do it:

  • create a new section (like featured-collection-horizontal)

  • show the products in a single row using flexbox or grid with horizontal scrolling

  • hide borders and hover effects to keep it clean and minimal

  • use square or custom image ratios for consistency

  • center-align the product name and price under the image

this mimics that clean, spacious layout you see on the balenciaga site.

happy to help with a sample snippet if you need! just let me know.

Hello @article

Need to customize the dawn theme if you need a look like the reference.

Can start with something like this. Usually I’d say – add to section “Custom CSS” but this probably would not fit the 500 character limit there…

Theme settings “Custom CSS”, probably…

.facets-container {
  border-top: 1px solid;
  border-bottom: 1px solid;
}

.product-grid {
  margin-top: 0;
  position: relative;

  --grid-desktop-horizontal-spacing: 0px;
  --grid-desktop-vertical-spacing: 0px;
  --grid-mobile-horizontal-spacing: 0px;
  --grid-mobile-vertical-spacing: 0px;
}
.product-grid:before {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  right: -1px;
  top: 0;
  width: 2px;
  height: 100%;
  background: rgb(var(--color-background));
  z-index: 1;
}
.product-grid:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  background: black;
  display: block;
  height: 1px;
}

.product-grid > .grid__item {
  border-right: 1px solid;
  border-bottom: 1px solid;
  --gradient-background: transparent !;
}

.product-grid .card__inner {
  background: transparent;
}

.card__information {
  padding: 1rem !important;
  text-align: center;
  align-items: center;
  --text-alignment: center;
}

.card__content {
  align-items: end;
}
