SINGAPORE--(Marketwired - Nov 19, 2013) - Duriana Internet Pte. Ltd. reinvents the 21st century marketplace with the launch of Duriana -- a mobile-first, location-based, peer-to-peer marketplace application for Singapore.

The company aims to build an engaged community of users through the app while promoting the return of peer-to-peer buying and selling, reminiscent of the early days of peer-to-peer e-commerce before the emergence of power sellers.

Employing location-based technology, the app is able to uncover a treasure trove of items in the area, ranging from vintage wares to gadgets, accessories, furniture and even baby apparel. Enticingly showcased in a continuous photo stream, users can enjoy browsing the broad variety of listed items with ease.

Camilo Paredes, Co-founder of Duriana, shared, "We enjoy pre-loved treasures, searching for and finding them. Existing options are often cumbersome and dull, so we set out to bring a certain flair of quality craftsmanship, real-time interaction and ease of use to Duriana, our marketplace for all things beautiful near you."

On top of its location-based feature, the app's user-friendly interface facilitates a welcome fuss-free mobile buying and selling process. Creating an item listing is easy, and sellers can do so in 30 seconds using their mobile phone's built-in camera before sharing this with their social circles. The app also features an integral messaging function that enables real-time interaction and through which buyers can communicate their queries to sellers before finalizing the transaction.
