AI Driven Fashion
Tote is a discovery & analytics service provider for fashion brands and retailers
Decoding Fashion's DNA
We've broken down fashion into its simplest components with over 2000 attributes defined and more being added every day. Fashion products are tagged through these attributes to generate the most relevant insights.
This capability serves as the foundation for everything that we do for our partners.

The Growing Data Gap in Fashion
The retail landscape is changing from a push to pull model.
Translation: It's no longer just about showing your products to the right customers.
It's about having the right products for your customers.
Being competitive in today's fashion-retail landscape requires a level of data & technological capabilities that are expensive & inaccessible to most of the industry.
This has created a growing 'data gap' that creates an increasingly unfair playing field.
This is the problem we hope to solve.

Better Planning is Better for the Planet
Around 30 percent of all clothes made around the world are never sold and the cost of this inventory distortion is estimated to be 210 billion USD.
We work with brand partners to reduce waste: by using data to effectively design, buy, and produce, we will reduce the amount of unsold products that end up in landfill.
