Colour swatches on product cards, with a fabric count on mobile

01

What they do

On desktop each sofa card shows six fabric swatches and a "+45" for the rest. On mobile they don't try to squeeze them in: it just says "51 Fabric options". Tap a swatch and the product page opens in that fabric.

02

Why it works

Choice is the selling point on a made-to-order sofa, and both versions say so without you opening anything. The clever bit is not shrinking the desktop row onto a phone, where six swatches would be tiny dots under your thumb. A number reads faster. And tapping a swatch takes you to that fabric, so nobody lands on tan leather after tapping navy.

03

Makes sense when

Any product that comes in lots of colours, especially when the desktop design is about to get crammed onto a phone. What Heal's is missing: hovering a swatch on desktop doesn't change the card image, so seeing a colour costs a page load. Swap the image on hover.
