Problem
Students want to buy sustainably but lack trust in second-hand clothing quality.
Insight
Trust, not price, was the main barrier to second-hand adoption among students surveyed.
Solution
A verified student resale marketplace with item grading and campus collection.
What they tested
Ran a pop-up resale stall to test whether grading labels increased purchase confidence.
Mentor feedback
Mentors encouraged the team to simplify the grading scale for faster adoption.
What changed after feedback
Reduced the grading system from 10 tiers to 3 clear categories.
