Fashe — free Shopify theme for fashion and apparel

An open-source Shopify theme for clothing, accessories and boutique stores, rebuilt in 2026 on Online Store 2.0 theme blocks.
No jQuery, no CSS framework, no third-party assets — one stylesheet and one ES module.

Preview

preview.colorlib.com/theme/fashe

The preview is a static build of the same design rather than a live storefront — assets/base.css here and the stylesheet behind the preview are the same file, so what you see is what the theme renders. Cart, filtering, sorting and predictive search are all demonstrated there; on a real store they run against Shopify's own APIs.

Collection page — filter by category, colour, price and size	Product page — built from movable theme blocks
Cart drawer — ajax, no page reload	Blog — with an about page and full customer accounts too

Mobile — drawer navigation, scroll-snap carousels, thumb-sized tap targets

The whole homepage, and the about page

What you get

• Three homepage layouts — full-width hero, promotional, and a split layout with fixed side navigation.
• Filterable catalogue — category, colour, price and size, with sorting, through Shopify's free Search & Discovery app.
• Product pages built from blocks — title, price, variant picker, quantity, buy buttons, stock status, description and collapsible rows, each movable in the editor.
• Ajax cart drawer with quick add straight from the product grid.
• Predictive search — product, collection, article and page suggestions as you type.
• Colour and image swatches driven by your own Shopify product options.
• Multi-currency and multi-language through Shopify Markets.
• Blog, about, contact and the full set of customer account pages.
• Four editable colour schemes, applied per section, plus font pickers and layout controls.

What it is, technically

Fashe 2.0 is a theme-blocks theme — the newest Shopify theme architecture, the same generation as Shopify's Horizon themes. Merchants can add, remove, reorder and nest blocks inside sections directly in the theme editor, including on the product page.

Installing

Download fashe-shopify-theme.zip and upload it in Online Store → Themes → Add theme → Upload zip file. Do not unzip it first — Shopify expects the archive. Then click Customize to set your logo, colours and menus, and Publish when you are happy.

To work on it locally:

npm install -g @shopify/cli
shopify theme dev --store your-store.myshopify.com   # live preview
shopify theme check                                  # lint (currently: 0 offenses)
shopify theme push                                   # upload

Structure

assets/          base.css (design system), theme.js (custom elements)
blocks/          14 theme blocks — reusable and nestable across sections
config/          settings_schema.json, settings_data.json (4 colour schemes, 2 presets)
layout/          theme.liquid, password.liquid
locales/         en.default.json (213 storefront strings)
                 en.default.schema.json (386 theme-editor strings)
sections/        36 sections + 2 section groups (header, footer)
snippets/        18 shared partials (product card, price, cart, facets, schema…)
templates/       19 JSON templates + gift_card.liquid

Theme blocks

blocks/ holds blocks merchants can place in any section that accepts @theme:

title vendor price variant-picker quantity buy-buttons inventory description accordion heading text button image group

group accepts child blocks, so layouts can be nested without code.

JavaScript

One ES module, ~650 lines, all behaviour as custom elements that no-op when their element is absent:

quantity-input product-form cart-drawer cart-page variant-picker product-gallery predictive-search announcement-rotator address-form

Filtering, cart updates and search results use the Section Rendering API, so Liquid stays the single source of truth for markup.

Performance notes

• One stylesheet, one module script, zero external requests.
• All images use image_tag with srcset, sizes, explicit dimensions and lazy loading; the hero and first product image are eager + fetchpriority="high".
• Carousels and the product gallery are CSS scroll-snap — no carousel library.
• Drawers are native <dialog>, so focus trapping, Esc and inert backgrounds are free.
• Motion is disabled under prefers-reduced-motion.

SEO and structured data

Product and BlogPosting JSON-LD, a clean heading order, canonical URLs, Open Graph and Twitter card tags, responsive images with alt text taken from your product data, and no render-blocking library stack in front of the first paint.

Accessibility

Skip link, visible focus rings, labelled form inputs, aria-current navigation, role="listbox" search suggestions, 24px+ touch targets, and alt text driven by image.alt throughout.

Upgrading from Fashe 1.x

Treat 2.0 as a new theme, not an update. Upload it alongside your current live theme, set it up in the editor, preview it, and publish when it looks right. There is no automatic migration of 1.x settings — the two versions have completely different section and block structures, which is exactly why 2.0 can be edited on every template instead of only the homepage.

The v1 issue backlog was reviewed and closed against this rewrite in September 2026: the cart, the colour settings, the Instagram feed, the currency converter and the deprecated {% include %} calls that those reports were about no longer exist. If you hit any of it on 2.0.1, please open a new issue.

Known gaps

• Only English ships. Both locale files are complete and fully keyed, so adding a language is a matter of translating en.default.json and en.default.schema.json.
• Not yet rendered against a live store — see CHANGELOG.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Please run shopify theme check before opening a PR; the theme is at zero offenses and should stay there.

Licence

ColorlibHQ/Fashe has never carried a LICENSE file, across 63 forks and several merged community pull requests, so the terms are not yet stated here. This is being settled — do not assume MIT. In the meantime the theme is published as a free download for use on Shopify stores; if you need the position in writing before you build on it, ask at colorlib.com/wp/support.
