Introduction

In creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a sustainable fashion marketplace, it is essential to balance comprehensiveness and simplicity. The core idea is to provide a platform that connects consumers with environmentally conscious brands, but this must be achieved without overwhelming the initial release. Instead, focus on a few essential features that highlight the brand's commitment to sustainability and offer a seamless user experience. Consider the target demographic, their needs, and the unique value your solution offers to ensure the MVP stands out in the market.
