YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP has taken innovative strides towards circularity. Customers can scan their items QR code or NFC tag to unlock unique services such as styling advice, repair advice, and eventually, recycle and resell guidance. Customers are offered greater visibility over where a garment has come from, including design and fabric information, and care instructions that ensure the pieces can be treasured for years to come.

"Digital IDs can unlock a world of potential for extending the lifespan of our wardrobes. This technology provides opportunity for customers to engage more deeply with their luxury and fashion products – see how they’ve been made, where they’ve come from, and eventually enable them to be more easily passed onto a new owner. We see a future where Digital IDs have played an important part in helping us to shift mindsets around longevity and circularity."

Mr P.

Each product features a QR code, holding and revealing its unique data – from provenance, design and product composition to expert styling tips and after-care advice.
