Introducing Brand Partner
Our innovative new programme to change the fashion industry is here.
Fashion is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Clothing consumption is set to rise 63% by 2030,* but today we wear our items 40% less than 10 years ago.**
This has to change. The simple act of buying a second-hand handbag over new can reduce its environmental impact by up to 91%.*** More pre-loved fashion means fewer new items have to be made.
Fashion is not a race, slow the pace, reduce waste
We need to reduce fashion waste by giving items a longer lifespan. We need to educate people to invest in quality. We want everyone to buy less and buy better. We’re saying no to throwaway fashion.
Brand Partner is a pioneering new collaboration where we fight side-by-side with luxury fashion brands, encouraging their customers to embrace circular fashion by reselling their unworn pieces with us.
The idea is simple:
Brands invite their most loyal customers to sell their pre-owned items, which are then sold under Vestiaire’s new ‘Brand Partner’ label.
With Brand Partner, we are making change happen.
Why Sellers Should Get Involved
- - Pass on your pieces sustainably, and make more space in your wardrobe
- - Enjoy guaranteed resale values, so your investment in quality will be rewarded
- - Receive store credit to reinvest in well-made items that last and can be resold later
- - It’s fast, easy and convenient!
Why Buyers Will Love It
- - Discover unique pre-loved pieces from past seasons, direct from a house’s most loyal clients
- - Shop with guaranteed authenticity and Direct Shipping
- - Explore the history of each item, tracked with new technologies
