making used fashion fun to buy and sell
Just a month ago eBay launched a fashion site where you can buy and sell clothing, shoes, and accessories. Of course, quite a few items at fashion.ebay.com are new but you can find some used clothing that really rocks. We thought this vintage wool cocktail dress from the 50′s was pretty stylish.
On the other side of the pond, the UK’s ASOS.com, the largest independent online fashion and beauty site in England, announced yesterday that they are launching an online marketplace giving their customers a place to recycled their fashions. The new site will also be open to small businesses and independent labels to promote their own products. You can expect to see some overstock items offered as well.
Nick Robertson, ASOS chief executive, told The Financial Times, “We have 7.5 million fashion-loving customers coming to the ASOS website every month and I want them to be able to recycle their wardrobes among each other.”
Like eBay, ASOS’s new site will focus offer both new, used, and vintage clothing. However, they are shying away from the auction model; items will be sold at a fixed price. ASOS also intends to help sellers make the most of the items by giving advise on how to display and describe pieces for sale.
The new online marketplace is expected to launch later this year.
