    The challenge

    Fashion labels should work for every customer

    For many blind and low-vision people, identifying a garment independently can be difficult. Size, colour, fabric composition, care instructions and product details are often presented in small print that is hard or impossible to access.

    NaviLens adds an accessible digital layer to clothing labels and hangtags, helping fashion brands make essential garment information easier to discover and understand without changing the product experience for other customers.

    Traditional garment label

    • Small printed text
    • Limited accessible information
    • Difficult to identify independently
    • Information may be lost after purchase

    NaviLens-enabled garment label

    • Detectable with a smartphone
    • Audio and multilingual content
    • Accessible product information on demand
    • Useful in store and at home

    Fashion in action

    Inditex is making garment information more accessible

    The Inditex group is integrating NaviLens into garment hangtags across its brands, giving customers with visual impairments a way to identify clothing, access product details and shop with more autonomy.

    § Real case — Fashion retail

    Independent shopping in a fashion store, garment by garment.

    A customer walks through a fashion store and uses NaviLens to identify garments on hangtags — style, size, colour and price — pointing the phone from a distance, without precise aiming, with audio read-out in their preferred language.
