New website for Stockport clothing firm

A nautical outfitters and technical clothing firm based in Stockport, Quba Sails, has revealed a new e-commerce website.

The clothing firm, based in Broadstone Mill, was originally founded in Salcombe, Devon, in 1996, before relocating to Stockport, and operates online and from over 20 stores nationwide. The brand was born out of the idea to create jackets using reclaimed canvas sailcloth.

Manchester-based agency, Digitl, were tasked with the objectives of communicating Quba’s heritage, the quality of its collections and to build on its reputation in the sailing community through the new website.

Darren Ratcliffe, founder of Digitl, said:

Over the past 25 years Quba Sails has become an iconic British brand so this has been a great project to work on.

“It has a well-established presence in the sailing and boating communities, but we wanted the new site to act as a springboard to widen its appeal. Quba produces some of the UK’s best outdoor apparel and we’re confident the site will reinforce this message and help drive its growth over the next few years.”

James Clarke, eCommerce & Digital Marketing Coordinator at Quba Sails, added:

[Digitl] really understood what we wanted to achieve, and the team has done a great job in bringing it to life.”
