The company currently has a presence in ten countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, South Korea, China, and the US.
Both companies will become subsidiaries of a newly created Cayman Islands exempted company, DOTA Holdings.
Following the deal, DOTA will rename Reebonz as Reebonz Holding Limited and the current management team of the online marketplace under Lim will lead the combined entity.
Reebonz chief executive officer and co-founder Samuel Lim said: “Operating as an eco-system for new and pre-owned luxury fashion, where buyers become sellers and sellers become buyers, we offer a trusted way of accessing luxury fashion where few choices existed.
