“We originally met Florence to partner with LuxLexicon for our Carousell Certified Luxury programme. We realised that we had a similar vision, and by joining forces with LuxLexicon’s expertise, we could help each other supercharge our luxury bag business in southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan over the next few years.”  

The acquisition comes as Carousell witnesses significant organic growth in the luxury resale market, particularly in the luxury bag category in Singapore, which has seen an increase in listings of 71% since 2022.

In 2022, the company acquired Laku6, an electronics re-commerce platform in Indonesia, and REFASH, Singapore’s largest omnichannel fashion re-commerce retailer. 

In 2023 it introduced programmes to enhance the trust and convenience of buying and selling authenticated luxury bags.
