Can't wait to get our new Empire themed web shop refresh out to our customers. They are going to love the mobile experiences like swiping through product images, better search and visible filter tags. Support has been excellent and very helpful in fine-tuning the theme to our liking.

I'm new to Shopify and not very tech-savvy, but this EMPIRE theme by Pixel Union looks great, is easy to work with yet powerful - has customer reviews for each product, homepage displays your social media and blogs, etc. Best of all, the customer support from Pixel Union has been nothing short of phenomenal!!! 5 out of 5 stars
