Vestiaire

Vestiaire Collective is a global online luxury resale platform. Founded in 2009 by Fanny Moine, Sophie Hersan, and Sébastien Fabre, the company focuses on the sale of pre-owned designer fashion items. The platform aims to provide a curated and authenticated marketplace for consumers to buy and sell high-end clothing, accessories, and handbags.

The core of Vestiaire Collective's operation involves a rigorous authentication process. When a seller lists an item, it is first vetted by the Vestiaire Collective team for quality and authenticity before it is made available for purchase. This process is designed to build trust with buyers and ensure the legitimacy of the luxury goods. Items are shipped directly to Vestiaire Collective for inspection before being sent to the buyer.

The platform caters to a wide range of luxury brands, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, and Hermès, among many others. Vestiaire Collective also emphasizes sustainability, promoting a circular economy model within the fashion industry by extending the life cycle of luxury garments. The company operates internationally, with a significant presence in Europe, North America, and Asia. They have expanded their services to include a "White Glove" service for high-value items and offer various pricing and selling tools for their community of users.
