Bath Beyond Boundaries

Project:

Bendows is a platform to revolutionise online shopping for Nigeria's fashion-forward youth by offering a secure marketplace for pre-owned clothing, footwear, and accessories. It addresses the dual challenges of affordability and security that many face when shopping online. 

To ensure trust and safety, the team implemented a Buyer Protection Fee and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), safeguarding transactions from scams and unauthorised access. Deliveries would be managed through trusted third-party logistics partners, ensuring anonymity with unique codes for each order to protect user privacy.

Tailored specifically for young Nigerians, the platform caters to budget-conscious individuals who desire trendy fashion at accessible prices. Recognising the cultural diversity, the site features both western and traditional attire, appealing to varied preferences across the country. Beyond shopping, users can create personalised vision boards, curating their styles and gaining inspiration from others, fostering an engaging community around fashion.

Breathe Beautifully is looking to innovate the dehumidifiers market, making aesthetically-pleasing, reusable and functional dehumidifiers that are often necessary in many homes.

The team aim to place dehumidifiers in plain sight and not hidden away so they can operate at their full capacity. With a range of styles and colours there will be a design to suit anyone. 

It is commonly known that many renters, in particular students, struggle with damp and mould in their homes. Whether this is due to poor maintenance from the owners or struggles with heating, there needs to be a solution to combat the moisture in the air which causes the damp or mould without ruining the aesthetic of the room.

Breathe Beautifully aims to make cost-effective, reusable, decorative dehumidifiers to allow students and renters alike to feel comfortable in their own homes whilst still keeping up their high standards of interior decoration. These dehumidifiers will not require electricity to be used as the desiccant material installed inside will absorb and collect the water. Meaning once capacity is reached the desiccant material will be replaced, whilst the decorative casing can be used and admired again and again.

Project:

Calm Cap is a noise-cancelling device that can be worn without people noticing, which can be used anywhere, anytime. 

The hat-shaped device can be worn by everyone and that does not need to be put into our ears. The target users will be people who are looking for a noise-cancelling device that is comfortable and designed to help the user focus on either work or study.  It can also be used to help autistic children, those who are sensitive to noise, and those with perforated eardrum.

Project:

Style Spin is a digital marketplace where students from the same university campus can rent items of clothing and/or accessories for a specified amount of time for a lower price than purchasing.

The business will generate revenue by taking a commission from each item rented. Starting the business within a university campus also removes the need for delivery fees. It aims to reduce fast fashion waste, addresses low income and allows students to experiment with new clothing styles without the large cost and commitment.
