Making it the first and only global designer marketplace to do so.
Vestiaire Collective just became the first and only designer marketplace to ban fast fashion brands from its platform, a move that many luxury shoppers can get behind.
From today, the platform will be actively banning listings relating to fast fashion, prohibiting users from buying or selling them. According to Sep 13, 2024, the decision comes as part of the collective’s three-year plan to change the way that shoppers consume fashion, hoping to play a small part in eliminating the industry’s major overconsumption problem. BoF also stated that roughly 5% of Vestiaire’s earnings will be impacted by the new decision.
“We wanted to reduce waste in people’s wardrobes, and that waste is mainly coming from fast fashion because it has no value, and as a consequence very little resale value,” said Vestiaire’s President and Co-Founder Fanny Moizant in a statement. “This is really us trying to change the industry and move the needle at a bigger level,” she added.
As part of the platform’s new rules, Vestiaire Collective will work on creating a list of criteria that determines whether or not a brand comes under the term ‘fast fashion,’ in collaboration with an external agency. Brands will be judged against that list, which will determine their fate on the platform.
