ThredUp

ThredUp is an online fashion resale marketplace founded in 2009 by James Reinhart, Chris Homer, and Oliver Lubin. The company was created to help individuals buy and sell gently used clothing, inspired by the idea of unlocking the value of unused items in closets. ThredUp offers a wide range of second-hand clothing for women and children, including everyday wear and designer pieces, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and affordability. The company provides several services to facilitate the resale process. Clean Out Kits allow users to send in their unwanted clothes for resale, while the online marketplace enables customers to browse and purchase a variety of items. ThredUp also offers Goody Boxes, which are curated selections of second-hand clothing tailored to individual style preferences. Through partnerships with major retailers like Macy's and J.Crew, ThredUp has expanded its reach and visibility in the fashion industry, appealing to those seeking eco-friendly and budget-friendly fashion options.
