Resale marketplace partners with Abercrombie & Fitch
24/04/2020
“This partnership with thredUP supports our long-term journey to embed sustainability throughout our organisation,” said Fran Horowitz, CEO of A&F. “Sustainability is integral to our success, and it’s increasingly important to our customers. This collaboration not only helps reduce textile waste, but it also offers our customers a convenient way to do good, something we know they are eager to do.”
To participate, US customers request a thredUP clean out kit or download a prepaid shipping label from the resale marketplace’s website. They can then send any brand of like-new women’s or children’s clothing to thredUP; when garments are received and processed by thredUP, customers will earn A&F or Hollister gift cards.
In 2019, thredUP upcycled their 100 millionth item, which the company says displaces an estimated 870K tons of CO2e or the equivalent of 74,000 road trips around the world.
