Vestiaire Collective has championed luxury fashion resale for almost a decade, showing how smarts and sustainability go hand in hand.
When Fanny Moizant launched Vestiaire Collective in 2009, concerns about sustainability in the fashion industry were just beginning to surface. Today, with the issue on everyone’s radar, the site boasts over 8 million users, 900,000+ items and ships to more than 50 countries globally. We speak to the French co-founder about spotting fakes, cultural differences and how she shops responsibly.
What was the inspiration behind Vestiaire Collective?
In 2009, I saw a void in the market. I noticed that friends and fashion bloggers in France were missing a trusted avenue through which to sell their designer items. After speaking to friends and eventually my five business partners, we realised that there was a need for Vestiaire Collective: A dedicated platform for fashion lovers to buy and sell their pre-owned items in a smart and trusted way.
