?Job Description:
Fitted is a fashion tech company with multiple sides. We have a fast-growing made-to-measure fashion brand that produces custom clothing (men only), and a tech platform for facilitating custom clothing orders (groups platform and the tailor app). We exist to transform the fashion model in high-growth markets where custom wear is common-place and custom-tailoring is a part of the culture for its nationals. Our current market for production is Sub-Saharan Africa, and our primary customers are Africans (local and in the US / European diaspora). We aim to expand to 4 countries by year end.
In many populous economies, customers’ need for reliable, traditional apparel isn’t met sufficiently because of production issues (individual tailor capacity and ready to wear facilities can’t produce these styles in bulk). People living locally and abroad still want clothes and better experiences though! So Fitted is set up to bridge that gap and improve lives of value chain participants.
By powering production on a platform built to ease the end to end order process, we are able to help small hold workers earn up to 3x their regular earnings with us while customers are 4x more likely to get an outfit that matches their request the first time. All while giving any African / diaspora interested person absolutely stunning, hand-crafted outfits.
