On this episode I’m joined by the brilliant Marjorie Biawa, Resale Consultant and visionary in the circular fashion space.

What started in an 8m² room during lockdown selling her and her mum’s clothes on Vinted has grown into a thriving career. Marjorie now consults consumers on how to resell mindfully and advises brands on how to integrate resale into their business models. She also mentors resellers on scaling their businesses.

In this episode, we dive into: why resale is becoming a movement, not just a trend, the two distinct customer types in resale: the buyer vs. the seller, how younger generations are emotionally disconnected from their clothes, the convenience of resale, especially for remote shoppers, why more people are seeing fashion as investment pieces and so much more.
