New Element: My Bottle and Item Comparison

We have developed an additional “My Bottle silhouette” as a comparison item for the “Daily Necessities Comparison” function, which is useful for checking the practicality of fashion items such as bags and wallets. Deeply sympathizing with the desire for sustainability that “agnès b.” has held since the brand's founding, we have developed this new feature to meet the needs of our customers who are aiming to achieve the SDGs goals.

Comments from the Virtusize Design Team

Sustainability has been one of Virtusize's most important corporate philosophies since its inception. By providing customers with the opportunity to find fashions they truly love through our services, we have been able to reduce the return rate, which is an issue for fashion retailers, and have contributed to reducing the carbon footprint of deliveries. We have also been promoting a paperless office building at our head office and using renewable energy. Because we have been involved in these activities, the development of the “My Bottle Silhouette” was a new and important step for us to express our company philosophy.

Based on our corporate philosophy and the way we deal with social issues, we were very pleased with the request from “agnès b.” to introduce the “My Bottle Silhouette”. We sincerely look forward to receiving future requests to work with our clients to solve social issues and realise their corporate philosophy, such as developing "silhouettes that can express diversity" and "silhouettes for fashion items that take sustainability into consideration. Our team will work together to develop products to meet even the smallest design commitment.

In addition to the silhouettes currently available, we plan to release new “My Bottle” designs in the near future. We are constantly researching trends in the “My Bottle” market and creating designs that meet the needs of our users. We will continue to improve our service so that we can help you find fashion items that suit your various lifestyles in your busy days.
