What: In November 2022, the Inditex group launched Zara Pre-Owned, a second-hand platform, in the UK, offering customers the opportunity to give new life to their garments through repair, donation, or peer-to-peer sales. The company is now focused on expanding the platform to France and Germany, and later in Spain.

Why it is important: This peer-to-peer fashion resale platform focuses exclusively on items from the Zara brand, enabling direct connections between consumers. In addition to Vinted platform, many textile companies have made their own foray into the second-hand fashion market. Kiabi and Carrefour have dedicated corners in some of their stores for second-hand items, while Veepee also launched a program in Spain for the collection and resale of articles, just to name a few.
