Vestiaire Collective

Vestiaire Collective’s CEO Bernard Osta recently took the stage at the Milken Institute 2026 Global Conference in Los Angeles. As a global business proud of our French heritage, we believe banking on  the European technology space is key to fuel its competitiveness. Here are the 3 key takeaways from the discussion: ➡️ Reducing dependency: Decreasing reliance on foreign tech giants by building robust, localized investment alternatives. ➡️ Scaling from within: Leveraging Europe’s diverse market and exceptional talent pool to build global champions. ➡️ Seeing the glass half full: Acknowledging macroeconomic challenges, while focusing firmly on the immense opportunities ahead for European innovation. Thank you to Petra Freddi for including us in this crucial debate alongside global change-makers. #MIGlobal

What if a fashion business could reduce its environmental impact while growing? In the spirit of Earth Day, Vestiaire Collective is pleased to announce that it has reached a new milestone: 4.8x more emissions avoided than generated, up from 3.4x last year. This progress reflects a model where growth and positive impact go hand in hand, at a time when consumer habits are rapidly evolving. 🛍️ ~85% of our users choose second-hand over new, helping extend product lifespan and limit overproduction. ♻️ 5-year retrospective on our carbon footprint: • Air freight reduced from 50% in 2020 to 16% in 2025, reshaping our transport mix. • Carbon footprint back to 2020 levels (–30% vs. 2024) • Carbon intensity –41% vs. 2020 (–26% vs. 2024) Our mission remains unchanged and feels more relevant than ever: to transform the fashion industry for a more sustainable future, promoting the circular fashion movement as an alternative to overproduction. At Vestiaire Collective, we lead with sustainable growth, proving circular fashion is a force for good. Growth isn’t over, nor is our positive impact! Stay tuned!

Thank you ReCon NYC for welcoming Vestiaire Collective ‘s Chief Business Officer, Klemen Drole, to take the stage in New York last week alongside voices of the resale ecosystem. Interviewed by Andrew Adam Newman from Morning Brew, he shared his perspective on the evolution of the resale market and the role of Vestiaire Collective in shaping it. Key highlights: 🤝 Collaboration with brands: from building trust through authentication to unlocking new audiences and extending product lifecycles, resale is becoming a strategic lever for brands. 🤖 AI as a growth driver: simplifying the seller experience while transforming discovery and curation for buyers, AI is accelerating both scale and efficiency across the platform. 🔁 Resale momentum: a structural shift in consumer behavior, with second-hand increasingly becoming a first choice, is reshaping the future of the fashion industry.

🌍 Earth Month is a moment to challenge how we consume fashion. At Vestiaire Collective, we continue to promote more conscious habits: buying less, but better. This year, as part of our “Influence for Good” initiative, we designed another immersive learning experience inspired by our “Got Nothing to Wear” study, exploring how our emotional relationship with clothing can unintentionally drive overconsumption. From a visit to the GEBETEX recycling facility ♻️ to workshops on mindful consumption and value perception, participants were invited to rethink how we buy, use, and value fashion. Alongside voices like Julia FAURE and Charlotte Lemay, this initiative highlighted how resale can drive more mindful consumption, by extending product lifecycles, informing better purchasing decisions, and shifting value from ownership to longevity. In collaboration with Aware Collective 🤝, these moments are meant to empower a community of content creators to amplify their impact and help reshape fashion consumption for a more sustainable future ✨ 🎥 Alex Socks Hortense Pruvost Anne Meyrueis Gaya Guiragossian Marie Tobaly-Meurisse
