The Problem
After conducting extensive secondary, quantitative, and qualitative research, I discovered that clothing swap events have great potential for sustainable fashion enthusiasts. However, existing apps with similar models lack the in-person positive social experience and bonding that clothing swap events have. Respondents expressed interest in joining swap events but were often unsure how to participate and concerned about finding individuals with similar size and style preferences.
Goals
My goal is to create a platform that connects like-minded conscious fashionistas for clothing swapping, making it easier for individuals to participate and organize clothing swaps of their own. By facilitating a community that matches people based on their style and size preferences, I aim to lower the barriers to entry, and create positive change in the fashion industry and clothing swap movement.
Concept Test
To generate ideas for the product, I did a group brainstorming session and created a mind map based on the user persona and empathy map. I selected the most fitting ideas and put them through a concept test using Typeform.
Create a Profile and Add Items
When creating a profile, users are required to input their personal information, which includes their preferred clothing size. To upload an item for swapping, users need to include images and provide information about the brand, condition, and size of the item. These added items can be viewed in the user's personal profile.
Swipe to Find Items you Love
Getting Matched
The user is added to a group of people with similar size and style. Through the chat you can organize swap parties, and find a place to donate leftover items after the event. Both can be organized through a poll feature.
