LONG LIVE FASHION
When Fanny Moizant and Sophie Hersan founded Vestiaire Collective in 2009, they wanted to give people’s wardrobes a second life. Fast forward to today, and Vestiaire Collective has built a vast community of fashion lovers across the world, driving the circular fashion movement forward through innovative technology, ground-breaking campaigns, and designer brand partnerships.
At Vestiaire Collective, our operations revolve around four key pillars: Fashion, Trust, Community, and Impact. We provide curated fashion selections with verified authenticity, foster a global community of conscious enthusiasts, and actively minimize environmental impact through our circular fashion initiatives.
“Each of us has a role to play and should be extremely proud as we’re changing the way the world consumes fashion.” - Max Bittner, CEO
Today, we operate in 70+ countries, offering an unparalleled catalogue of 12,000+ luxury brands, with 35,000+ new items added every day and 6,500+ items shipped every week.

Long Live Fashion !
We’re building a more sustainable future for fashion. One that doesn’t love it less, but more.
Because the future of fashion demands more: More caring. More commitment. More circularity. More creativity. More community. More people like you.
The more our collective grows, the bigger our impact. That’s why we empower every fashion enthusiast to join our cause. Those who don’t only wear fashion, but live it. Those who don’t only take care of their styles for a season, but for life.
We need people who live for fashion.So that together, we can make it live forever.
Our goals
Leading by Example
As the first fashion resale platform to ban ultra fast fashion, we're determined to push for tighter regulations for clothing producers and brands. But we can’t change the fashion industry on our own. That’s why we create long-term partnerships with like-minded brands to help offer Resale as a Service, so their clients can enjoy a circular shopping experience.
Inspiring Our Community
We share inspirational educational content to help our community to buy less and buy better by investing in longer-lasting, higher-quality items.
We're Stronger Together
The more diverse we are, the stronger we are. 67+ nationalities are represented at Vestiaire Collective, and in our most recent employee survey, 80% said they feel empowered to authentically express themselves at work.
