Launched in December 2020, Cloud Tailor is a D2C brand that specializes in hyper-personalized women’s wear segments and aims at providing a digital solution to an offline tailoring problem. An enabler of personalized fashion styling, fashion visualization, order placement, recommendations, tracking, and fulfillment, Cloud Tailor offers a simple and reliable tech-based solution globally
Getting the trend on-point
Looking closely at the current ecosystem of personalized fashion, the founders of Cloud Tailor realized that the ecosystem is unreliable and filled with stories of hassle and inconvenience. With the motivation to address the challenge women have when it comes to getting their wardrobe of personalized fashion, founders Mahesh Patel, Sushmita Lakkakula, and Rudra Pratap launched Cloud Tailor. From the start, they were aware that this market presents a Rs 27000 crore opportunity and wanted to tap it with their unique offering.
In a nutshell, Cloud Tailor is a D2C platform that provides end-to-end fashion & tailoring solutions at your fingertips with access to fashion designers free of cost, doorstep measurements, and free lifetime alterations. What started with women is today catering to kids as well as specially-abled women and pregnant women to ensure that they can truly deliver on the promise of making personalized fashion accessible to all.
A process-oriented company, the current strategy on which Cloud Tailor works is ‘brand awareness.’ This they are able to do by educating the audience about the services they offer plus about design, styling, and fashion trends using digital channels (social and performance marketing), influencer marketing, ATL, and BTL.
