Vestiaire Collective, celebrating 15 years in resale, hosted a luxury item treasure hunt with 250 high-end pieces priced at $19.48. Brands like Gucci and Dior were part of the event. The platform grew 25% in 2023 and is expanding in the US.
Vestiaire Collective, a leading pre-owned luxury platform, marked its 15th anniversary on October 16, 2024. The event featured a special treasure hunt where 250 luxury items, including pieces from Dior, Prada, and Gucci, were hidden and sold for $19.48. This special price nods to the platform’s founding year, 2009. "Vestiaire Collective has demonstrated for 15 years that fashion and thoughtful decisions can coexist," said Fanny Moizant, co-founder of the company. This milestone solidifies the platform’s position as a leader in the growing resale market.
The treasure hunt’s hidden gems were luxury items from brands such as Burberry, Miu Miu, Chloe, Bottega Veneta, and Valentino. These high-end products, typically valued at $1298.66 each, were available at a fraction of the price during the event. This creative celebration brought more attention to the platform's sustainable fashion efforts, making it a memorable moment for fashion enthusiasts and bargain hunters alike.
In 2023, Vestiaire Collective saw a 25% increase in revenue, demonstrating its strong foothold in the luxury resale market. The company’s growth aligns with the rising demand for sustainable fashion, as more consumers seek eco-friendly and affordable alternatives to fast fashion. This milestone has been accompanied by rapid international expansion, with the US emerging as a key market.
The US has become one of Vestiaire Collective’s largest markets, contributing 20% of its total sales. The company expects this share to grow as more American consumers embrace secondhand luxury. Vestiaire Collective’s expansion into the US reflects the country’s increasing interest in pre-owned luxury and its commitment to sustainability. With strong consumer demand and innovative campaigns, the platform is set to lead the secondhand fashion revolution.
