Ropeo is a monthly subscription box of preselected clothes for you to try before buy. Think StitchFix for Latin America that lets customers use cash, with no upfront payment to get the box.

Moreover, only 23% of the above age population is a credit card holder, compared to 69% in the U.S. So, Ropeo accepts cash upon pickup (they own the last mile), bringing brand-new consumers into clothing e-commerce.
