Need help to add image instead of text on variants on Sense theme

Store Design
,

Topic summary

Issue: On a Shopify store using the Sense theme, the merchant wants the “Patches” product variant to display images instead of text, while other variants (Size, Custom Name & Number) remain as text.

Context and attempt: The merchant successfully mocked the behavior via browser Inspect Element (developer tools) but doesn’t know where to add/edit code in the theme to make it permanent and scoped only to the “Patches” option.

Visuals: Two screenshots illustrate the current text-based variant and the desired image-based display; these images are central to understanding the request.

Response so far: A community member shared a reference implementation on a different Shopify theme (Dawn) at kpsclothing.in and invited direct contact via email, but did not provide in-thread steps or code.

Status: No actionable solution posted in-thread; the request remains open. Key need: guidance on where and how to implement image swatches for a single variant (“Patches”) in the Sense theme.

Hi,

Need help regarding variants, right now I use the Sense theme, and I have created some products with variants, I sell custom made TShirts and I have the following variants:

Size,

Custom Name & Number,

Patches,

Now on the Patches variant, I want to showcase an image instead of the text , I tried adding some code in Inspect element to see if I can get it working and It worked, and now I’m stuck and I have no idea where or how I can edit the code to only show image on the Patch variant.

here is an example on how it is now:
