Hand Me Up

An interactive MERN Multi-Page Project

Description

A clothing re-sale application with a purpose that reduces the stigma of accepting low-cost clothing.

Sellers list their clothing for sale at a rate that just covers shipping. Buyers can shop from a selection of low-cost but trendy and modern clothing. Buyers have the option to make an additional donation to a partner charity of their choice when making a purchase.

I WANT affordable clothing options that are modern and gently used
SO THAT my family and myself have adequate clothing that fits without the stigma of second-hand or low-quality clothing that will not last.

Seller and Buyer

AS A buyer and seller of used clothing,
I WANT to donate my gently used clothing to people who need affordable options and still be able to shop on the same platform
