Problem
College students often struggle to find convenient, trusted ways to buy, sell, or trade secondhand and handmade clothing within their campus community, leading to missed opportunities for sustainable fashion and inefficient coordination of meet‑ups.
Solution
Coclo is a mobile marketplace designed specifically for university campuses. The app automates listing creation by generating item details, captions, and price suggestions from a few uploaded photos. It incorporates a built‑in calendar that lets users schedule try‑ons and pick‑ups at central campus locations, eliminating back‑and‑forth messaging. By verifying student email domains, Coclo restricts the network to enrolled students, fostering trust and reducing fraud. The platform thus streamlines peer‑to‑peer fashion exchanges while promoting sustainability on campus.
