This will encourage luxury fashion circularity and support a circular economy.
The RealReal founder and CEO Julie Wainwright said: “Gucci is raising the bar not only for the fashion industry but for all companies by continuously innovating to make its business more sustainable.
“Together we’re shining a global spotlight on resale that we hope will encourage all consumers to support the circular economy and join us in reducing fashion’s carbon footprint.”
As part of this partnership, a tree will be planted via non-profit One Tree Planted for every Gucci purchase or US consignment carried out by The RealReal platform.
