De-construct's business development director, Dan Douglas, said: "Reiss is a growing brand, which has a large following on the high street. The plan is to develop its interactive presence and marketing over time by researching what works to find the right mix.
Kristina Hewson, marketing manager at Reiss, added: "The site will be a new way to keep in touch with our customers. Reiss has an extensive database and we will be targeting customers with news, offers, events such as new store openings.
"E-commerce is something we are considering in the future, but at the moment our resources are focused in overseas and UK expansion."
De-construct will be working in collaboration with Reiss's print agency MadeThought.
