### 📂 What Is a Lookbook Archive?

A lookbook archive is a curated collection of multiple lookbooks (up to 9) that showcase past or seasonal styles, campaigns, or editorial content. Each lookbook is built as a standalone page using the Lookbook templates, and then linked together to form an accessible archive.

This is perfect for brands that want to:

* Maintain a visual history of drops or collections
* Share seasonal stories in a clean, navigable layout
* Build long-term brand narrative without clutter

***

### 🧱 Step 1: Create Individual Lookbook Pages

Each lookbook in your archive must be built using one of the 9 available Lookbook templates.

1. Go to **Online Store > Pages**
2. Click **Add Page**
3. Name the page (e.g. `Lookbook SS24`, `Campaign 01`, etc.)
4. Under **Theme Template**, choose one of the Lookbook templates:
   * `lookbook.1`
   * `lookbook.2`
   * …
   * `lookbook.9`
5. Click **Save**

***

### 🧭 Step 2: Add Lookbooks to Your Menu

To make your archive accessible, you can create a custom menu structure.

1. Go to **Online Store > Navigation**
2. Choose your header or custom menu (e.g. “Lookbooks”)
3. Add the top-level item (e.g. `Lookbook Archive`)
4. Underneath, add **child links** for each individual lookbook page

Example:

```
Lookbooks
├── SS24 Campaign
├── FW23 Lookbook
├── Editorial Drop 01
```

> 💡 Tip: Use clear naming conventions like seasons or drop numbers to keep your archive organized.

### 📁 Optional: Create a Dedicated Archive Page

Want a visual hub for your archive?

1. Create a new **Default Page** (e.g. `All Lookbooks`)
2. In the Theme Editor, assign the `page.default` template
3. Use sections like:
   * **Image Links**
   * **Collection List**
   * **Gallery Grid**

This gives you full control over how your archive is presented while linking out to each lookbook page.
