Background

Revolutionising the online Sustainable Fashion industry with Birl

In the dynamic landscape of sustainable fashion, Birl emerged as a game-changer, envisioning a shift in how users interact with their favourite brands. This case study explores the transformative journey of Birl's user experience (UX) design, aimed at simplifying sustainable fashion for users worldwide.

Challenge

Birl is a startup aiming to revolutionise sustainable fashion by providing a platform where users can trade in their old clothing items for instant credit towards new purchases. The fashion industry is notorious for its environmental impact, and Birl recognised the need for a solution that promotes circular fashion economy and reduces textile waste. Our challenge was to design a platform that simplifies the trade-in process and encourages users to engage in sustainable fashion practices.

Our Solution

To address this challenge, we developed a MVP platform that streamlines the trade-in process and promotes sustainability. My role as a UX designer involved creating an intuitive and user-friendly interface that guides users through the trade-in journey. By focusing on simplicity and speed, we aimed to make sustainable fashion accessible to a wider audience.

Centralised Merchant Management

The Birl Admin App provides a centralised platform for efficient and seamless management of merchants. Birl administrators can easily add or remove merchants, granting or revoking access to the trade-in platform with just a few clicks. This centralized control ensures a streamlined onboarding process, contributing to a hassle-free and organized trade-in ecosystem.
