Setting up a barrier-free online boutique for the visually impaired to enjoy the pleasure of barrier-free shopping

 

The venture aims to promote the concept of “barrier-free beauty” through a barrier-free online boutique. Textual descriptions of the outfits and the audio guide system of the online boutique allows the visually impaired (VIs) to enjoy the pleasure of online shopping.

Through various programmes offered by the venture, including the online boutique, pop-up stores and orientation activities, VIs can enjoy the rights of making their own choices. They can also apply the outfit matching skills they have learned from the programmes to their daily lives, such as at work and for social gathering. The venture hopes to raise their self-confidence by building their abilities to dress smartly.
