Summary:
A Polish family startup, founded in 2020, specialising in the production of protective shields for the beauty and fashion industry and individual customers, has created an eco-friendly product that seeks to solve the problem of unhygienic fitting of clothes and avoid unnecessary disposal of clothes destroyed by customers. The company is looking to expand its customer base and is interested in international cooperation under distribution services agreements.
Description:
A family startup from Poland offers an innovative product that solves the worldwide problem of unhygienic clothes trying. The company is looking for partners in the fashion and beauty industry who would be interested in product distribution.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, numerous shops restricted people from trying on clothing due to facial contact with the fabric of the clothing, which could potentially contain pathogens.
The product is aimed mainly at the fashion industry. Shop owners can place the product in shop fitting rooms, allowing customers to use the solution freely. Using face protection will allow them to try on clothes hygienically. For shops, it is a way of reducing the financial losses that the retailer would otherwise be exposed to due to the discarding of soiled clothing. Clothing brands can also use the product to modernise their returns policy.
Another benefit of introducing the shield is that the company is actively working towards a high standard of hygiene. Caring for the safety of customers (as well as employees who do not have to touch fabrics on which potentially hazardous biological agents remain) is perceived positively by customers.
The product is also addressed to the individual customer. It can be purchased in packs of one for personal use. The client can take it with to a clothes shop, a second-hand shop, to the gym, swimming pool and other places where you want to change clothes hygienically. The cover can also be used at home when changing after applying make-up or trying on clothes ordered online. Once the product has been used up, the individual customer can use it as shoe wrapping to effectively protect against dust, use it as a small rubbish bag in the bathroom or dispose of it in plastic waste, as the polypropylene of which the hygiene mask is made is recyclable.
An important feature of the product is its user-friendly design - it is comfortable to use, transparent and breathable.
The company wants to expand its customer base with new foreign markets. It is looking for a partner under contracts for the provision of distribution services within the EU and beyond.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for partners connected with the world of fashion. The products will be suitable for representatives of the fashion market - owners of fashion boutiques; owners of clothing chains; models; fashion designers, stylists and others.
The company is also interested in cooperation with partners who are present on the cosmetics and pharmacy market. The manufacturer wants to distribute the product to drugstores and pharmacies, so that the protection is also sold to individual customers. Therefore, it will be useful to cooperate with persons who own chains of pharmacies and drugstores, as well as with those who have direct contact with contractors.
The type of partnership considered is a distribution services agreement.
