*********************************************************
Wardrobe-on-demand tech start-up PAKT announced today (November 20) that it has officially launched its offsite clothing management services in Hong Kong, catering to the needs of frequent travellers and busy professionals.
PAKT offers a unique platform for per-item wardrobe management with butler services ranging from collection and delivery to a high-resolution photo catalogue allowing individual garment tracking, pressing, dry-cleaning and repairs. Development is currently under way on a clothes sharing, trading and donation platform. Members can access services on the go on their smartphone, according to Founder Mrs Barbara Yu Larsson.
She said, "Hong Kong is a busy place, a city that never sleeps. Limited home space and humidity make clothing care at home challenging, so people need a reliable and accessible clothing management system that saves time and space."
The company's Technical Director, Mr Nicolas Köhl, added, "PAKT is about much more than simply putting your wardrobe at your fingertips. We're creating a community which is a virtual space where you will be able to manage, share, rent or even donate the clothes you no longer wear to charity."
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang said, "We're delighted to see that another innovative start-up is leveraging Hong Kong's vibrant and fast growing ecosystem to make its dream come true. We wish PAKT every success in the city."
