Tradesy was an online peer-to-peer resale marketplace for buying and selling women's fashion. The company was headquartered in Santa Monica, California.[1]

History

Tradesy was established in 2009 by Tracy DiNunzio with the intent of creating a marketplace for women to buy and sell their secondhand clothes.

The company started in 2009 under the name Recycled Bride, a peer-to-peer resale marketplace where brides could buy and sell wedding dresses and accessories.[2] DiNunzio soon expanded her platform to women's luxury fashion. Tradesy officially launched in 2012.[3]

Tradesy joined the Launchpad LA accelerator in 2011.[4] The company announced Series B funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers for $30M in January 2015.[5] In May 2016, Tradesy secured an additional $30M in Series C funding from Wildcat Capital Management.[6]

On November 17, 2015, Tradesy acquired Shop Hers, an international luxury marketplace dedicated to second-hand designer fashion.[7]

In the spring of 2018, Tradesy announced their acquisition of New York-based closet organizing and styling service, Fitz — now rebranded as Tradesy Closet Concierge.[8][9]

In March 2022, it was announced Tradesy had been acquired by the secondhand luxury marketplace Vestiaire Collective.[10]
