Company Summary

Box Upon a Time offers busy mothers a childrenswear personal shopper service to access premium childrenswear brands at discounted prices.

This virtual personal shopper service relies on an innovative combination of a Fashion Profile (filled by the mothers) and a “tastes forecasting” Algorithm developed in-house. By combining the two, we are able to forecast with accuracy what mothers love… And we are able to get to them at 60% discounts!
