El presente proyecto tiene como finalidad el desarrollo e implementación de un modelo de negocio escalable capaz de competir en el mercado peruano mediante las diversas estrategias basadas en las relaciones y alianzas con socios claves y el aprovechamiento de los medios digitales como un puente entre la empresa y el mercado objetivo. Se trata de una comunidad enfocada en el alquiler de prendas mediante una plataforma digital, el cual está segmentada para mujeres de 13 a 24 años con un NSE B y C, y que residan en Lima Metropolitana. La propuesta brindada es la facilidad de alquilar prendas exclusivas de marcas y modelos variados a precios bajos de una manera rápida y segura desde la comodidad de sus hogares. Los canales utilizados son mediante página web y redes sociales como Facebook e Instagram, seleccionadas específicamente para la adaptación de las estrategias hacia las usuarias, ya que son las más utilizadas y las más accesibles. Para el análisis de viabilidad de propuesta se realizaron entrevistas tanto para expertos en el sector de la moda como a las posibles usuarias que contaban con una experiencia de compra por internet y en préstamos de ropa para cualquier ocasión. Asimismo, se realizaron validaciones de las ofertas de alquileres de prendas y las interacciones con las plataformas digitales presentadas por Fashion Rent. Se concluyó que existe demanda insatisfecha por parte de las usuarias, ya que, actualmente, los precios de los vestidos en el mercado limeño son elevados comparado con el poder adquisitivo que disponen y las veces que lo usarían. También, se observó durante las entrevistas que varias de ellas estaban interesadas en poner en alquiler sus prendas en desuso para generarse un ingreso extra y de esa manera convertirse en parte de nuestras socias claves. Por ello, se recibió una potencial acogida a nuestra propuesta innovadora de alquiler de vestidos a un precio accesible y con disponibilidad de tallas y modelos variados de acuerdo con las tendencias de cada temporada, además de brindarles la posibilidad de recibir una asesoría de modas completamente gratuita y personalizada para cada tipo y necesidad del cliente. / The intent of this project is to develop and implement the idea of a scalable business model which will be capable of competing in the Peruvian market through several strategies based on relationships and alliances with key partners and also, the use of digital media as a bridge between the company and the target market. This is about a community aimed on the rental of garments through a digital platform, which is segmented for women aged 13 to 24 with a socio-economic level of B and C, and for people who reside in Metropolitan Lima. The proposal offered of this project is the easiness of renting exclusive garments of differents brands and models at low prices, and also a quickly and safely service from the comfort of their homes. This will be through the website and social media such as Facebook and Instagram, which are specifically selected for the adaptation of the strategies towards the target market, since they are the most used (Facebook and Instagram) and the most accessible. For the feasibility analysis of the proposal of this project, there were interviews carried out both for experts in the fashion sector and also for potential users who had shopped online before and in clothing loans for any occasion, in the same way. Validations of the garment rental offers were made as well as the interactions with the digital platforms presented by Fashion Rent. To concluded, there is an unsatisfied demand from the users, because until this moment, the prices of dresses in Lima market are still high compared to the purchasing power they have and the times they would use it. Furthermore, it was observed during the interviews that several of them were interested in renting their disused garments to generate extra income and by this way become part of our key partners. Consequently, we received a potential welcome to our innovative proposal project of rental of dresses at reasonable price and with also availability of differents sizes and models according to the trends of each season, aside of having the possibility of providing a completely free fashion advice and customized for each type and need of the client. / Trabajo de investigación

The rapid increase in clothing consumption over the last decades has meant a significant burden on the environment. Some examples of this are the high consumption of natural resources and land, increasing amounts of carbon emissions, excessive use of toxic chemicals, polluting air, land and water and increasing amounts of waste. The average clothing consumption in Europe is far higher than the world average, especially in Nordic countries including Sweden. Adopting and encouraging more circular economies is a part of the European commission‘s strategy to achieve sustainable consumption of resources and protection for environment. The purpose of this Research is to study the possibilities of improving the practice of second hand clothes consumption in Sweden and make it more effective towards the goal of sustainable consumption and circular economies. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to understand the challenges and find abilities for improvement in the value chain of used clothes in Sweden, with focus on the reverse logistics system of used clothes (collection and sorting processes) as well as the market of second hand clothes. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the conceptual framework has been formulated upon studying relevant literature and results of previous studies. Value chains of three charity organizations have been studied and empirical data have been collected through semi-structured interviews with participants from these three organizations. The empirical findings have been interpreted in relation to the conceptual framework and the results of previous studies, in order to answer the research questions. The results of the study showed potential for improvement and development in the reverse logistics system (collections and sorting processes) of used clothes, as well as in the Swedish market of second hand clothes. However, benefiting of this potential requires collaboration between all stakeholders in the value chain of used clothes, including individuals (either in a position of donors or consumers), interested businesses (nonprofit or commercial organizations), government, municipalities, politicians and finally the private sector in clothing industry.
