Premium womenswear label Wyse London has launched a marketplace for buying and selling authenticated second-hand own-brand products.

As Boohoo Group unveiled its plans to rebrand as Debenhams Group today, CEO Dan Finley told Drapers why the business is pinning its turnaround on the marketplace model and how it will differentiate itself from competitors.

After online marketplace Trouva “paused” trading on 31 January, independent retailers told Drapers they have limited their exposure on the online marketplace this time round.

Boohoo Group-owned online marketplace Debenhams will launch international websites in Ireland and Australia over the coming months as part of an expansion drive after its total number of brands reached 10,000, Drapers can reveal.

Boohoo has launched an online marketplace with 200 fashion, lifestyle and beauty brands including L’Oréal Paris, Garnier, Ray-Ban and Michael Kors.

Lingerie retailer Ann Summers will launch a new underwear online marketplace next month, featuring 15 brands including Calvin Klein, Lemonade Dolls, Curvy Kate and Nudea.

Drapers meets marketplace integrator Tradebyte's CEO, Matthias Schulte, to break down the key challenges and opportunities for ecommerce fashion businesses.

Second hand marketplace Vinted returned to profit in 2023 as it posted a year-on-year revenue increase of 61% to €596.3m (£509m).

Marianne Gybels, senior director of sustainability at Vinted, told Drapers Sustainable Fashion Conference in London today (13 March) how the marketplace has accelerated global growth by designing its business model around affordability.
