Merch store refresh: site improvements and new products to the catalog

[cristinaluengo]

Problem statement

To ensure the successful launch of the Open Home Foundation merch store, the first iteration was released in an initial phase that addresses the basic needs to enable the community to support the foundation's mission. To guarantee the best possible purchasing experience and meet overall expectations (regarding products for sale, look and feel and UX, etc.), additional resources are required to facilitate this new iteration.
