Imagine a fashion world where technology meets sustainability, and you can keep the memory and value of an item virtually forever. Well, you don’t have to look that far!
An NFT is a non-fungible token that holds the digital value of a physical item. Every physical object, from a painting to a videogame, can create an NFT existence and hold its digital value online. Once you adapt it to fashion, that is when it gets interesting. Luxury fashion pieces are inevitably perishable, and even though they can last a long time, they surely can’t last forever. Unlike NFTs. These transferrable tokens hold the digital value of pre-existing goods, even as the items in question get destroyed, lost, or stolen. In some cases, when an item is extremely valuable and rare, its digital monetary value can increase, indepedently from the condition of the physical item.
Every eligible* item purchased on her-age.com will give you access to its exclusive NFT. A simple second-hand purchase can and should be considered a long-term investment. All eligible* tems will be provided with a QR code that, once scanned, will provide you with a one-of-a-kind functional NFT containing authentication certifications, proof of ownership, and key product details pertaining to the item purchased. This information will be stored in a highly-secured environment, such as the blockchain. You will be able to access your NFT through a digital wallet on the Luxo App, developed by Her-Age’s technology partner Luxochain. The QR code will also be sent via email for your records, so you will never have to worry about losing your NFT in the future.
Why purchase an NFT-eligible* item?
• Eligible items purchased with NFTs on her-age.com are always ready to be re-sold, without the need to incur additional costs to prove an item’s authenticity
• Paper documentation, which is both extremely valuable and easy to lose, will become a thing of the past
• In Her-Age’s case, NFTs become functional in that they safekeep key information about the item and its legal ownership
• NFTs cannot be tampered with, and thus are hack-proof, contrary to PDF certificates which can easily be edited– their safety is absolute
