Project vision

25/Feb (Update)

The Time to Repair project works with tailors and seamstresses in Lima, Peru to develop a collaborative online platform where they can announce their services to consumers looking to repair their garments. The project connects diverse generations to achieve more sustainable garment consumption practices.

Older one:
Time to repair is about working with tailors and seamstresses in Lima to develop a collaborative database so that they can benefit from internet exposure and people can find allies in them to repair garments of their own / Connecting diverse generations to achieve more sustainable practices.

Great, you are having an interesting topic here especially that aspect of taking advantage of the broadband technology to expose elderly seamstresses

Interesting project! But is your target group digitally savvy enough to use the platform?

I like the idea! As @msoka86 mentioned, maybe people in their 50s or 60s don't know very well how to use complex digital tools. So UX is very important here! Do you know if those people use already some other type of digital communication tools? Maybe Whatsapp or Facebook? I know is now very ideal in this context but perhaps researching how they use those communities maybe it can inspire you?

Yes... those are very interesting questions. I recently wrote my roadmap (first draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vlkMbcdTLdwKIplNW3o5HpcqVIzKeXczrzXRA1_VWRE/edit)... I think I will invest some time on understanding who these professionals are and how do they interact on the internet! It will be difficult to create a useful platform if I don't have them in mind :(

I have to find out! And develop something that it's very intuitive for them...
