Mytheresa and Vestiaire Collective have extended their resale collaboration to the UK, which means Mytheresa’s British luxury customers with items to sell will be able to take advantage of the France-based pre-owned marketplace’s services.

Top customers who want to sell high-end pre-owned items are invited to do so and need to upload the necessary information about the item via a dedicated digital interface. They’ll then be given a price quote, after which they have a fairly seamless delivery process and once the item has arrived at the Vestiaire Collective UK authentication centre (which only opened late last year), the item will undergo quality and authentication checks. The consumer gets paid via Mytheresa store credit.

“Both Mytheresa and Vestiaire Collective are committed to rolling out this service to even more Mytheresa customers in the coming months,” the companies said of the UK move. “This initiative marks the first time that a multi-brand luxury platform embraces designer resale in a comprehensive way to reinforce the shift to circularity as part of the fashion ecosystem.”

The service launched across Europe last summer for selected top clients of Mytheresa and a further global launch is expected at some point.
