Vinted

Vinted is a leading online second-hand fashion marketplace that allows users to buy, sell, and swap pre-loved clothing and accessories. Founded in Lithuania in 2008, it now operates in 21 countries and has over 16 million users in the UK alone. Vinted reduces transaction costs and offers a convenient platform for sustainable fashion consumption.

In 2023, it reported a 61% increase in revenue to €596 million and achieved its first net profit of €18 million. Vinted benefits from internal economies of scale and rising demand for ethical, low-cost alternatives to fast fashion, making it a disruptive force in the clothing retail market.
