Vestiaire Collective's CEO
Max Bittner's Interview


Vestiaire Collective's global CEO introduces the platform's unique features through exclusive interviews featured in Joongang Daily and Maeil Business Daily newspapers.

Vestiaire Collective launched 13 years ago, "We went into the luxury resale business faster than anyone else and understood the trends of luxury consumers. I believe that the consumption trend is increasingly moving towards experiences rather than possessions."


The future of luxury resale market "is very positive. The luxury industry has grown over the past few years, and consumers are interested in the quality and design of their luxury products. With a limited budget, people cannot continue to buy new luxury products. In addition, there are many people who want the old style rather than the brand-new design."


"The Korean market may be small but is unique in digital consumption. When it comes to the price, Korean consumers are sensitive and smart. Our strong point is the products. It is clear that being able to see such a variety of luxury products in one place is a powerful thing. We are the mediating platform connecting to these items at one click."

"'Long Live Fashion' is our brand motto to express our philosophy and inspiration, while growing fast for the last 13 years in 80 countries. We are the alternative of the fashion industry that has wasteful practices, overproduction, and overconsumption, showing fashion can create a virtuous cycle."


"We see the second hand luxury trade is more about the community business not just another e-commerce as the community can lead and change the way we consume. People are more important than the products. When they experience luxury fashion with sustainability, they will be part of the global community pursuing this value. As a member of the community, they have access to a fashion catalogue with more than 25,000 products everyday and they also can sell their closet items. With these actions, both consumers and brands contribute to the fashion’s sustainable cycle."
