US-based luxury retailer Neiman Marcus Group has announced an agreement to purchase a minority stake in e-commerce company Fashionphile.

Both companies will work together to create enhanced pre-owned experiences by pairing Neiman’s physical footprint and customer base with Fashionphile’s digital inventory.

The partnership will also support the luxury retail chain in enabling its customers to buy pre-owned goods, as well as reach new shoppers.

Neiman Marcus Group CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck said: “Our investment in Fashionphile is an exciting step in Neiman Marcus Group’s transformation into a luxury customer platform, as we work to better serve our customers, continue to shape the future of luxury and position Neiman Marcus for long-term and sustainable growth.

“Our investment in Fashionphile is an exciting step in Neiman Marcus Group’s transformation into a luxury customer platform.”

“With Fashionphile, we will engage with customers participating in the secondary market and introduce Neiman Marcus to younger and aspirational shoppers already devoted to luxury brands. We look forward to partnering with Fashionphile to create yet another exciting reason to experience our stores.”

Neiman will offer immediate quotes to customers for their items from Fashionphile, and immediate payments that can be used to reinvest in new luxury fashion items, at select stores, on the same day.
