Target, the US retail bigwig, has teamed up with resale firm ThredUp again to test secondhand apparel market.
The American fashion retailer has, reportedly, stated that the offer includes around 400,000 women’s and children’s products.
Notably, the products will be from Target’s own brands – in addition to national and premium labels curated from ThredUp’s own assortment.
This is not the first time that Target is testing the apparel resale market. Back in 2015, the retailer had collaborated with ThredUp.
Reportedly, as per ThredUp’s Recommerce 100, around 41 brands are into secondhand business. However, Target’s move to team up with ThredUp seems to be one on a large scale especially with thousands of items.
Recommerce 100 comprises list of fashion retailers and brands that utilise its RaaS programme and even those who don’t.
Target, through this deal, is focussed on exploring how to better serve customers, including what products to carry and how to offer value, along with furthering its sustainability goals.
Founded in 2009, ThredUp has been successfully selling secondhand clothes online.
