-Product

The product which we have created will enter into the fashion industry, specifically the winter clothing market. It is a line of fashionable winter clothing, e.g. jackets, hats and gloves that are all internally heated and made from sustainable and environmentally friendly resources. We have named the company behind our product 'Aurora', based on the spectacular natural phenomenon that occurs in areas close to the north and south poles, which are all in cold climates. The decision to launch this product is based on three factors: fashion appeal, environmental issues and a market gap.

-The fashion appeal of these products is that, due to its technology, it negates the requirement of big bulky winter coats, therefore appearing more fashionable, especially to the younger generation who are conscious of, and like to display their figure.
-The products also aim to tackle a number of environmental issues. It is to be made from sustainable material in an ethical manner. It also tackles the usage of large animal furs in cold climates, especially since many of the animals used are quickly becoming, or already are endangered. These aspects of our product will appeal greatly to people who express concern for the environment, thus giving us a boost in the market for people who purchase items that are Fair-trade and wish to avoid paying companies that produce their goods unethically and controversially.
-There has been a gap identified in the market for a product of this kind. Although there are big players in the winter clothing market such as The North Face and Berghaus, neither of these corporations develop products in the ethical manner which ours are and no other company has a heating system like ours. Although there are a few companies which produce heated clothing, they all use primitive technology and are all very small and relatively unknown companies.

Designs will be similar to this, but without compromising

    In the context of our business model our number one key process is our Rules and Norms (a complete breakdown of Patagonia’s current business model and a to-be-proposed business model are available for review in Exhibit I). This ethos that started with the founding of Chouinard Equipment continued through the creation of Lost Arrow and indeed Patagonia. Our self-proclaimed “dirtbag” culture has resulted in some unorthodox business practices over the years. We pride ourselves on our efforts to reduce the social and environmental impact of the lifetime of the goods and services we produce. This is something that our competitors recognize but do not focus efforts on; for us it is of the utmost importance. I took this liberty to draft a Customer Value Proposition (CVP) for our current model: “We provide high quality, durable outdoor athletic clothing and accessories that are produced with a high standard for environmental and social impact. We make the products that we want to use.”…

    Each year, billions of animals are brutally slaughtered, solely for the use of their fur for human needs. The fur industry is a completely unnecessary, inhumane, and cruel practice.
