FARFETCH will offer FARFETCH Cleaning kits to their online customers through a personalized end-to-end resale experience. Customers complete their Cleaning kits with clothes, shoes and accessories and send them to thredUP or have them picked up at home for free. Once an item sells on thredUP, sellers contribute at least 50 percent of the total payment at their option from a select group of charities and receive any remaining payment as a FARFETCH purchase credit. FARFETCH is the first RaaS from thredUPⓇ partner to leverage its new white label offering, creating a fully personalized resale experience tailored to the FARFETCH brand and audience. ThredUP’s technology, software and logistics power the FARFETCH Donate experience. Learn more about RaaSⓇ here.
“Resale is an inevitable part of the evolution of fashion and is the next emerging channel for clothing retailers,†said James reinhart, co-founder and CEO of thredUP. “FARFETCH is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking companies in the luxury fashion industry, and we are honored to fuel and expand their giving program and help create a more sustainable future for the fashion.”
Both FARFETCH and thredUP are committed to helping the fashion industry move from a noxious ‘take-do-throw’ linear model to a more circular one. FARFETCH Donate is part of the larger Positively FARFETCH strategy to become the platform for good in luxury fashion. FARFETCH is committed to becoming ‘more circular than linear’ by 2030 as part of its recently launched 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and the development of FARFETCH Donate in the United States by engaging with thredUP is integral of achieving this goal. RaaSⓇ powers personalized and scalable resale experiences for brands and retailers of all types – from mass value to luxury – and is a powerful solution to the waste of the fashion industry.
