TAIPEI – Fledgling secondhand fashion marketplace PopChill has secured a US$2.2 million investment which will be used to bolster the start-up's infrastructure and broaden its consumer base.
The company will look to emulate the success of resale giants Depop, ThredUp and the Vestiaire Collective, companies which have capitalised on the growth of pre-owned apparel amongst shoppers.
“We believe in a more sustainable future for fashion – where clothing can be repurposed and move away from the wastefulness that has defined the fast-fashion era – and help more people look good while also doing good through their fashion choices,” Andy Kuo, co-founder of PopChill, told Technode Global.
