Resale Is Reshaping Fashion — And the Future of Business

In 2024, Vinted became France’s #1 apparel retailer — beating out every fast fashion giant in its path.
But here’s the twist: Vinted isn’t a traditional retailer. It’s a second-hand platform built around circularity, convenience, and community.

And it’s not alone.

From Vestiaire Collective to Depop, The RealReal to ThredUp, resale platforms are booming — and they’re not just trends. They’re signals of a deep market shift:
Consumers want more than new — they want value, sustainability, and brands that reflect their ethics.

Why Resale Platforms Are Winning

Resale platforms tap into three major value drivers:

1. Convenience & Experience

Apps like Vinted and Depop offer frictionless listing, buying, and communication — making second-hand feel as easy (or easier) than buying new.

2. Community & Trust

Resale marketplaces are peer-driven. Buyers trust sellers through ratings, reviews, and messaging. This authenticity builds loyalty and repeat usage.

3. Sustainability at Scale

Every item resold avoids new production and reduces waste. These platforms allow millions of garments to stay in circulation — aligning with growing climate-conscious consumer behavior.

The result?
A model that’s good for the planet — and great for business.

Circularity Isn’t Just Ethical — It’s Profitable

Leading platforms have proven that circular strategies like resale don’t just reduce emissions — they drive:

• New revenue streams
• Customer engagement & retention
• Future-proofing against regulation and shifting expectations

In short: Circularity is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a strategic advantage.
