Based in Montreal, Canada, LXRandCo curates, sources and authenticates high-quality, pre-owned products from major brands such as Hermès, Gucci, PRADA, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
The company indirectly offers products through its website by powering the e-commerce and other platforms of key channel partners.
The transaction comes after LXR companies filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) earlier this month.
The acquisition will expand FASHIONPHILE’s selling channels beyond direct-to-consumer and improve its circular retail experiences and clientele.

FASHIONPHILE co-founder and CEO Ben Hemminger said: “With this acquisition, we are excited to forge a new path in wholesale and provide trusted, authenticated, branded accessories to even more sectors of the growing second-hand market.
“LXR has been a pioneer and long-time leader in B2B wholesale within the pre-owned luxury space. As we aim to maintain our position as the most sought-after brand for buying and selling pre-owned, ultra-luxury accessories, it is paramount that we participate and invest in all possible retail channels that touch re-commerce in the modern retail landscape.”
The acquisition comes after FASHIONPHILE entered a partnership with Neiman Marcus Group in 2019 to become the luxury speciality retailer’s exclusive re-commerce partner.
Following the partnership, the resale e-commerce platform FASHIONPHILE has already opened ten Selling Studio locations inside Neiman Marcus stores.
