# Velvet Sunday

[Velvet Sunday](https://apparel-loungewear.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a relaxed-living boutique with robes, loungewear sets, pajamas, and home comfort products including candles and a throw blanket before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes robes, loungewear sets, pajamas, shorts, t-shirts, sweatpants, socks, blankets, and scented candles. There are 30 products across five collections. All 30 products use color and size options with a four-value size run, and three carry a compare-at price.

mock.shop is an auth-free Shopify Storefront GraphQL API backed by sample reference stores. Find out more about [mock.shop sample stores](https://www.shopify.com/blog/mock-shop).

## When to use this store

Choose Velvet Sunday when you’re building a loungewear and lifestyle store with clothing, blankets, and candles that share color and size options.

Use Velvet Sunday for:

- A loungewear and home-comfort shop
- Collection browsing for robes, lounge sets, and candles
- Color and size selectors linked to selected-variant prices and carts

Choose another mock.shop store if you need varied option types beyond color and size, technical or performance apparel, or a wider accessory range. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example Velvet Sunday query

Here’s an example GraphQL `POST` request that retrieves options and variant prices for one product from <https://apparel-loungewear.mock.shop/api>:

```bash
curl https://apparel-loungewear.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"warm-taupe-robe\") { id title options { name values } variants(first: 20) { pageInfo { hasNextPage } nodes { id title selectedOptions { name value } price { amount currencyCode } compareAtPrice { amount currencyCode } availableForSale } } } }"}'
```

This query retrieves Warm Taupe Robe, including option values, variant IDs, selected options, availability, and current and compare-at prices. Use the selected variant’s ID and price when adding it to a cart.

The endpoint doesn't require authentication or an access token. Read <https://apparel-loungewear.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Velvet Sunday is a straightforward starting point for building a cozy casualwear or lifestyle store. Every product uses the same two-option format, color and size, with a four-value size run (XS through L) and color names like Sand, Sage, and Clay. You can reuse color and size controls across clothing, candles, and the blanket, while reading each product’s returned values rather than treating sample size labels as physical dimensions. Three products carry a compare-at price for testing sale display. The catalog spans five collections, including Morning Ritual Robes and Aromatherapy Essentials, supporting collection browse pages and filtering alongside standard product detail and cart flows.

Preview the catalog in a storefront by opening <https://apparel-loungewear.hydrogen.mock.shop> in a browser.

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a loungewear and lifestyle storefront with Velvet Sunday using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or another AI assistant, copy the prompt below. It gives the assistant the store domain and directs it to the catalog instructions before it starts writing code.

```text
Build me a Hydrogen storefront using apparel-loungewear.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: apparel-loungewear.mock.shop/llms.txt
```

Shopify also provides a [mock.shop starter project](https://github.com/Shopify/mock-shop-starter): a Hydrogen storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and a working cart already connected to mock.shop. You or your AI coding tool can customize this code instead of building those pieces from scratch.

Follow the repository’s setup instructions, then set `PUBLIC_STORE_DOMAIN=apparel-loungewear.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use Velvet Sunday’s catalog. Leave `PUBLIC_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN` empty; mock.shop doesn’t require a token.

## Move to a real Shopify store

mock.shop uses fictional, read-only catalog data. Cart operations work, and checkout is mocked: no payment is taken and no real order is placed. The Customer Account API isn’t supported.

When you’re ready to launch, point your storefront at a Shopify store and add that store’s public Storefront API token. If you don’t have a Shopify store yet, [start a Shopify free trial](https://www.shopify.com/free-trial) to create one.

Read the [mock.shop developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/mock-shop) for setup and migration details.
