Rediscover your wardrobe & invest in what you already own

The modern shopper wants a solution for multiple pain-points, all in the palm of their hand. Whering helps millennial women take pictures of what they own, style them and enable them buy smarter to fill wardrobe gaps.

With the help of Machine Learning Whering provides daily styling advice as well as curated, sustainable product recommendations to complement their looks. From their customer validation experiments they realised user experience was the biggest barrier to adoption – their main advantage is customer centricity and user experience: automatic item tagging and cropping in under 15 seconds and their white glove service*.

They are breaking down the barriers by creating a product that speaks directly to millennials offering lifestyle guidance throughout and diversity at its core. They have multiple revenue streams: a core B2C propostion (subscription service) which enables them to provide unique insights into customer behaviour and wardrobe content to brands, as well as further upside potential by taking a cut of sales from in-app purchases (which enables retailers to market their product in a more bespoke manner and drive repeat customers) and a margin from their white glove service (which enables Whering to become a key partnership for rental/resale models as their customers can effortlessly export these pictures to their platforms to realise more sales/rentals).

*The white glove feature removes the hassle of taking the pictures – The whering assistants come to the clients houses to digitise their wardrobes for them and revamp their wardrobe set up.

Whering is the cure for the ‘I-have-nothing-to-wear’ syndrome and a mobile destination for all things wardrobe a platform to empower conscious consumers to utilise their spending power for good and make the most of what they already own through digitalising your wardrobe.
