A proposal for Saddle & Sage · from Handled

Your styling app,
from closet to checkout.

Whitney, this is the plan for the app we talked about. The one that helps your customers shop their own closet first, and shop with you second. Here's what it is, how it comes together, and what it costs. No fine print.

Big city style on a small town budget.

What your customers get

One app that makes getting dressed easier, and quietly makes you their first stop when they need something new.

They photograph their closet

Snap a few pictures. The app tags each piece on its own, no typing, no work.

They get outfits from what they own

"Wear this with this," built from their actual wardrobe. The stuff they forgot they had.

You fill the gaps

No match at home? The app shows the Saddle & Sage piece that finishes the look. One tap to buy.

Styling sessions with you

Customers can book a live video session, set up their phone in their closet, and get styled by you directly. You set the price. Every dollar is yours.

Free to try, $19 a year to keep

Anyone can download it and start. The full closet unlocks for $19 a year. That's your revenue. Works on any phone straight from the browser.

How it comes together

Built in stages, so you see it working before we go further. Real customers testing it along the way.

01

Prove the core

Closet, outfits, and the match to your store. A small group tries it.

02

Turn it on

The $19/year unlock and the styling-session booking go live.

03

Polish & grow

Make it sharp, then point your TikTok and your people at it.

Where the six weeks go

So the number makes sense, here's the actual work behind it.

The investment

Plain and simple. Here's every number.

$3,500 to build your app
About 6 weeks of work. Split it in two: half to start, half when it goes live.
To keep it running
Covers hosting and the AI that powers the styling.
$39 / mo
The app Yours
$19 a year per customer. That revenue is yours.
$19 / yr
Styling sessions 100% Yours
You set the price. I never take a cent of this.
Your call
My ongoing share
5% of the yearly subscriptions, and only once you pass 50 subscribers. Under 50, nothing beyond the monthly. I do better only when it's clearly working for you.
5% after 50

You're the first boutique I'm building this for. Apps like this usually live in the five figures, so the price reflects that you're first, and that this is something we grow together instead of a one-and-done invoice.

The Apple App Store comes next

It launches as an app your customers can use and share right away. Getting it listed in the App Store is the next step after that, and it's included, no extra charge, once real customers are using it.
