Last week, we invited some of our favorite New York editors to our warehouse to learn all about our authentication process.
From the stitching to the hardware to the smell of the leather, they learnt some of the many ways our team of experts spot fakes - and saw firsthand just how convincing some designer dupes can be…
But the question is: can you spot the fake Fendi Baguette?
To celebrate our new collaboration, the founder, editor, and fashion icon @carineroitfeld opened the doors to her Parisian apartment and shared her favorite vintage treasures with @vestiaireco . Want to see more? Keep your eyes peeled for episode two of our interview…
Our Fast Fashion Ban campaign was launched on November 16th, nearly a month before the Zara Campaign. Vestiaire Collective encourages consumers to be more thoughtful about their purchases and refrain from buying brands like Zara, Uniqlo, Mango and to "Think First, Buy Second", which is the tagline of our initiative. The Fast Fashion Ban, now in its second year, is part of our mission to transform the fashion industry for a more sustainable future.
With 92 million tons of textiles sent to landfill every year, now’s the time to act. That’s why, from today, we’re banning another 30 fast fashion brands from Vestiaire Collective, including Zara, H&M, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Mango, Urban Outfitters, and Uniqlo.

When they ask why you just bought another Chanel bag? Tell them it’s not an accessory… It’s an asset. With ~500% price increases across the board, these styles are a safer investment than solid gold. And their value is only going up. So, would you invest?
