Have you worked with SoHo / Garment District / DUMBO DTC clients?

Yes, anonymised because of NDA, but the case-study angles are real and NYC-specific. We shipped a Magento 2.4 + Hyvä DTC storefront for a SoHo skincare brand: sub-200ms checkout LCP for Manhattan customers (AWS Local Zones NYC), Stripe + Affirm + Klarna USA tri-rail BNPL, NYC clothing-exemption-under-$110 logic (the brand sells beauty + apparel cross-category), Black-Friday + Black-Friday-Eve survived at 35× normal traffic. For a Garment District B2B wholesaler we built customer-specific catalogues, resale-certificate-gated trade pricing, Amex Open Pay Net-30 with Amex-backed credit, and Magento-to-NetSuite real-time inventory sync. For a DUMBO creative-agency-led DTC apparel brand we did Hyvä theme + Stripe + Apple Pay + Klarna full-stack on AWS us-east-1, plus DUMBO-photo-studio integration (Cloudinary-driven Look Books). References available on signed NDA, NYC fashion DTC and B2B both expect discretion.
