Consumer: Teenage Girl on Depop
Depop already has a consumer with an initiative to be more sustainable in their clothing sourcing. Emphasizing sustainability and handmade garments at competitive prices ensured serving the right consumer base.
Tiktok inspired a lot of fashion styles so using pastels, fabric with interesting patterns and various components from beads, lace, and buttons served as the inspiration driver for each piece.
Dressing cute doesn’t have to be fast fashion.
