The UK’s second-hand fashion market has grown to over £7bn, with nearly one in four fashion transactions now involving resale, according to research by OC&C Strategy Consultants released in March 2025.
This growth has sent the circular business model into the mainstream amongst fashion consumers, while incoming sustainability legislation will drive businesses to act.
This presents brands and retailers with a host of challenges, but also opportunities.
Do you want to launch your first resale offer? Hitting hurdles you need to overcome? Looking to expand and scale your business’s circularity offering? This webinar shows you how.
Joined by two fashion businesses leading the way with resale initiatives – The North Face and SMCP (owner of brands Sandro and Maje) – this discussion explores how you can strategically launch and grow resale businesses tailored to your company.
In partnership with resale technology platform Archive, we also explore:
– From peer-to-peer to brand-managed: key considerations in selecting the appropriate resale models for different businesses.
– How to innovate: overcoming operational and technological challenges and making a compelling business case for circularity amid today’s wider economic uncertainty.
