Staiy is the first sustainable fashion marketplace merging aesthetics, sustainability and AI-technology in one place. Spotlighting international brands that responsibly craft their pieces, Staiy gives sustainable fashion a contemporary platform that reflects the modern consumers. Low environmental impact, ethical production and high personalization allow discovering mindful fashion without compromising on style.

Staiy’s overarching mission is to accelerate the transition towards sustainable fashion and restoring timeless values by implementing the latest tools. Innovative technologies, materials, concepts and production practices meet in a contemporary platform that reflects the modern consumer.

Aspects like Water, Air, Materials, Work Conditions and Supply chain are the pillars upon which Staiy evaluates the sustainability of its brands, taking a step beyond standard evaluations to assess the broader picture. Artificial Intelligence signifies digital progress, and is implemented by Staiy to smoothen the approach to sustainable fashion. The personalization algorithm of Staiy uses the universal language of images, scanning product pictures and detecting their style, to then match items with the individual style of the consumer.

The Staiy marketplace believes in the power of fashion as a means to make a statement. The platform stands to renew the importance of this dimension, connecting brands and clients through the rediscovery of sustainable craftsmanship, inspiring stories of innovation and respect - in a perfect balance of reciprocal value.
