My wardrobe

Your published pieces will appear here.

How lending works

1. Photograph the piece and describe its condition.
2. Review a date-specific rental request.
3. Hand the garment to the assigned driver.
4. Inspect the return and receive your payout.

Proposed policy: owners clean garments before dispatch; condition photos are captured at handover and return. Damage claims need human review.

AI opportunities for the real app

Conversational discovery • Suggested listing descriptions from owner-approved details • Price guidance from completed rentals • Multilingual support in English, Arabic and French • Suspicious activity signals for human review.

Keep model calls on the PHP server, collect consent for image analysis, and require owners to approve generated descriptions. Do not promise body-fit accuracy or automated damage decisions.

01 / Supply

Curate the first wardrobes

Recruit founding lenders in Beirut. Prioritize accurate measurements, clear photos and quality eveningwear.

02 / Demand

Rent for real occasions

Reach wedding guests, professionals and eventgoers through creators and referral incentives.

03 / Fulfilment

Coordinate both journeys

Schedule collection, outbound delivery and return. Keep condition evidence at each handover.

04 / Trust

Make repeat rental easy

Approve owner profiles, review disputes, track on-time returns and release payouts after completion.

Launch decisions to validate with Christine

Finalize deposit and cancellation rules, cleaning responsibility, payment collection and payout provider, delivery coverage, verification requirements and dispute handling before accepting real orders.

Pilot targets to measure: completed bookings, repeat rental rate, listing utilization, contribution per booking, on-time deliveries and damage/dispute rate. Targets and launch spending should follow pilot evidence.

From prototype to product

A practical build roadmap.

PHP + SQL at the core, with a mobile-first customer experience.

Proposed production architecture

Layer	Technology	Purpose
Customer experience	React + JavaScript + CSS	Responsive renter/lender interface; installable PWA as a first release.
Application & API	PHP / Laravel	Accounts, availability, pricing, booking approvals, commission ledger and admin operations.
Database	MySQL	Users, garments, booking dates, orders, payouts, driver assignments and condition reports.
Live delivery	Driver web app + location API + WebSockets	Permission-based location updates for active assigned deliveries; polling fallback.
AI services	Server-side model API adapter	Ground styling answers in available listings, suggest descriptions and escalate support.
Supporting services	Object storage, job queue, payment & maps adapters	Photos, notifications, payment reconciliation and routed maps. Providers need local validation.
Where Node.js fits	Frontend development/build tooling	React is the frontend library; Node is a runtime, not a frontend. A separate Node backend is optional, not required alongside PHP.

Core data model

users → owner / renter / driver / admin roles
listings → photos, size, measurements, price, location
availability_blocks → dates unavailable per garment
bookings → renter, listing, dates, price snapshot, status
payments & ledger_entries → deposits, 10% fee, 90% payable, refunds
deliveries & location_events → assigned driver, route, timestamps
condition_reports & disputes → handover evidence and decisions

Booking creation must check overlapping dates atomically. Money values use integer cents, payment callbacks are idempotent, and every payout has an audit trail.

Delivery phases

1. Validate the service

Confirm policy, customer interviews, founding lenders and a manually operated Beirut pilot.

2. Build the marketplace MVP

Accounts, listings, date availability, requests, payments, returns, admin dashboard and commission ledger.

3. Add delivery visibility

Driver assignments, permission-based GPS, status notifications and proof of handover.

4. Add AI and expand

Catalog-grounded styling, multilingual assistance and owner tools. Expand regions when fulfilment economics work.

What this prototype runs

Illustrative photography: Lady Black Tie · Etsy · Nine. Demo images are not actual owner listings; replace with owner-authorized photos before launch.

One HTML file with embedded CSS and vanilla JavaScript. Listings and orders live in memory and reset on refresh. No real accounts, payments, database, AI API or GPS service are connected. This interactive demonstration is a product brief for the PHP/MySQL build.
