Zovi.com is also the first in India to set up a virtual trial room, (Zovi Eye), so you can now try on
your outfit online before you shop.
What is it?
Simply put, Zovi Eye is a technology that provides you with a virtual trial room. Developed by
their in-house team of developers and designers, through the Zovi Eye, a customer can use
his/her webcam to try on the garment on his/her body and view it. It also allows for finer size
adjustments and location adjustments thereby providing a very realistic physical trial room
experience.
How does it help you?
It offers the convenience of browsing from your home or work and trying on clothes virtually to
select a style that suits you. It works on reducing any anxiety of not being able to actually see

how garment looks before purchase online. Customers can also share feedback with pictures on
the looks they prefer through the virtual trial room. These inputs can then be used by the design
teams when they work on their range selection.
In general, the feature can build a complement to the offline social shopping experience, wherein
customers can share pictures with their friends to help them select the best looking outfit.
Can it replace the real-life shopping experience?
Given the monsoons, humidity and ever-increasing fuel price hike, shopping online comes as a
pleasant replacement in itself. Other than that, fashion offers the unique opportunity of being
mass in appeal yet individualistic in selection, thereby leveraging the advantage of being online.
With features like Zovi Eye and touch and feel features like Zovi Try Before You Buy,
Zovi aims at giving you a complete shopping experience at your doorstep.
BUSINESS CONCEPT
The ZOVI brand was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: Lets locally design and
manufacture high-quality lifestyle apparel and accessory products and exclusively offer
them online to you at extremely reasonable prices.
Why?
Because at ZOVI, they strongly believe that high quality apparel and accessories should not cost
what they do today. The traditional offline fashion retail industry is controlled by large
companies who counter inefficiencies in their supply chains and sales channels by selling
products at very high multiples of what these products actually cost. Maybe people already knew
that, but they bought from them anyway because, until now, there was no alternative.
What Zovi intends to do?

People behind ZOVI want to educate people on the value chain of apparel and accessory brands
they may be buying from, to make transparent where their money is being spent. Of course, they
dont want to just point out the issue, without giving a solution! They created ZOVI as a
trustworthy brand which scores high on style and value while doing away with any unnecessary
added costs pushed on to you, the consumer.
How does ZOVI do it?
How does ZOVI offer equally high quality or in many cases better quality apparel and
accessories than other brands, at a fraction of the cost?
Simple - cut out the middlemen.
Most premium fashion brands design and manufacture based on long fashion cycles. Yet, trendsare fickle, so in order to cover a predicted selling rate brands sell their products at a high
multiple to distribution chains or individual retailers through showrooms or sell directly to you
through their high street or mall retail stores. All of these ways of selling involve sky-high costs
(real estate, rentals, and business overheads).
Here's how they are different:
They CREATE their own designs
They don't partner with licensing companies who control the market and keep prices high to
cover for inefficiencies in the selling process. With an in-house team of globally traveled
designers and product developers and with trend inputs from across the world, they bring you
new fashion products every day. Being a purely online fashion brand allows us to offer a wider
range of products, giving you what you need when you need it. They can also respond faster to
your requests and plan according to your needs.
They don't work on inefficiently long buying and selling cycles
They present customer with fashion trends that are changing rapidly and based on your inputs,
they try and manufacture styles that you want to buy, hereby reducing costs like leftover stock
etc.

They sell directly to you.
It bypasses the high street and mall stores and dont end up paying their rents, staff or utility
charges!
They make shopping effortless
This website is simple, clean and easy to use. You have a choice to pay by credit card or cash on
delivery, and we will pick up the product free of charge if you want to return or exchange it no
questions asked.
Shopping with us is like a receiving a gift
Each of their items are personally wrapped in craft paper and delivered to you free of charge in a
special black and silver ZOVI box by one of our ZOVI couriers or one of our partner companies.
They are ready to listen
Unlike some offline brands, where you have to deal with a sales assistant who doesnt know
much beyond their own paycheck, ZOVI takes its customer feedback seriously and works hard to
ensure your experience with us is positive.
