In March, luxury second-hand marketplace Vestiaire Collective opened its historical warehouse to the fashion press and influencers in an exclusive invite-only excursion. The contemporary e-tailer—now backed by Kering—primarily sells pre-loved designer clothing and accessories worldwide. Its equitable prices and wide selection of designers ranging from luxury powerhouses to smaller independent labels has resulted in its tremendous popularity boost over the last few years.

Held in Tourcoing, France—where the Trust authentication facility is located—the tour provided an interactive experience for visitors to peek into the brand’s core expertise and authentication process. Within the tour was an introduction to Vestiaire Collective’s team of experts, followed by a rundown of the authentication facility and a workshop that allowed guests a personalised experience of the company’s inspection process.
