The luxury resale platform, Vestiaire Collective, has formed a significant partnership with Sojo, a clothing repair and alteration service, to provide enhanced tailoring services. This collaboration aims to address the prevalent issue of sizing challenges faced by customers shopping for vintage and pre-loved pieces.
Customers stand to benefit substantially, not only from expert tailoring services but also from the innovative zero emissions collection and home delivery service offered by Sojo. These services align perfectly with Vestiaire Collective’s mission to minimise returns, of which 65% are due to sizing issues.
The partnership introduces a new dimension for sellers as well. Sellers can utilise Sojo’s services to mend and repair garments before listing them, which can potentially increase the sale value. This move not only supports sustainable fashion but also enhances the overall buying and selling experience.
Once a customer receives their purchase, they can conveniently book any necessary alterations on the Vestiaire Collective site. Sojo’s team will then oversee the repair process at their in-house studios, ensuring a seamless cycle from purchase to delivery.
Both Vestiaire Collective and Sojo are certified B Corporations, underscoring their commitment to sustainable fashion practices. Sojo has an impressive track record, having partnered with numerous brands and retailers since launching its first partnership with Ganni in 2021.
The partnership is a strategic move towards eliminating sizing limitations in vintage fashion while promoting sustainability across the fashion industry.
