It feels good to look good, but it feels great to look good effortlessly!

The fashion industry is always on the move. It is one of the fastest evolving commercial ecosystems with a firm grip on the fabric of society. It is not a surprise to note how quickly fashion took to Technology. In the last decade, there has been a jaw-dropping growth in online shopping with the use of fashion Apps and websites.

In 2016, the fashion industry made around $2.4 trillion in revenue, of which around $0.7 billion was made through e-commerce. E-commerce purchase increased to $2.3 trillion in 2017. There is a fast-growing interest in fashion blogging, online fashion magazines and fashion influencers especially on Social media who have greatly affected the tone and direction of styles all over the world.

The online community of fashion is interested in much more than getting the right attire. It is now focusing on building relationships, friendships, followerships, mentorships and dreams.

At Primpy, everyone has a place; and are identified by their Profile.

Fashion Designers, Tailors, Brand owners etc. can register as a Shop on this platform and upload items from their catalogues.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

Primpy was developed as a response to the problems that have risen in the Fashion world for retailers, influencers, consumers, online shopping sectors and Investors in Fashion.

VISIBILITY: The spotlight is on for everyone who has a product or service to offer in the Fashion world. Because of the technology that allows transparency and fairness, upcoming sellers would get noticed and easily connected to their potential customers without getting trampled by big retailers.

SEAMLESS SHOPPING: The consumer wants an easy way of shopping right. Either at home, pressing buttons or directly in a shop, the ability of the sellers to access customer’s preferences immediately will ensure smooth and quick delivery of service.

A consumer reserves the right to share these preferences to online or offline Shops.

SAFE PAYMENT: Transactions will be done with extra security whereby Primpy acts as a middleman (Escrow service) and a consumer’s payment is held secure until the transaction is completed successfully before the seller receives payment.

Note that transactions can be made in all type of currencies or with the Primpy In-platform Token.

WARDROBE ASSISTANCE: Everyone has had at least one moment of outfit anxiety where choosing between a red or blue tie, a wedge shoe or stilettos required a long pause and long deliberation. There are lots of style expert online, ready to assist with these choices. Personalised wardrobe allows stylists to give fashion advice. A consumer can build a wardrobe by automatically adding online items to personal wardrobe or manually adding pictures of already owned items.

BRIDGING THE GAP: There is a noticed disconnect between the producers and consumers of Fashion. Therefore, consumers are not only assured of a high-speed shopping experience, but they can also read lots of articles in Primpy Magazine and contribute to the discussion on the latest fashion trends.

  • Like every Social media platform, Primpy allows everyone to interact within a safe community with a ‘follow’ feature.
  • The Sellers get real-time feedback from the consumers and the cycle feels more inclusive.

INVESTMENT: The fashion world is one of the biggest ecosystems made by humans. Unfortunately, there is not enough funding, especially for starters. Investors are wary of projects, while Ideas are in dire need of funding. Primpy is a Blockchain engineered platform that creates a new digital economy that will encourage more Investors and allow more funding for brilliant start-ups. It offers a transparent platform that assures Identity verification.

FASHION ENTHUSIASTS: A lot of people have special interests in fashion and how the ecosystem thrives. E.g. A student of fashion who wants to write a paper on how fashion affects human psychology will find this beautiful platform quite useful and enlightening.
