Case Study

What’s Yours is Mine

Concept

Preowned clothing is one of the best ways for the fashion industry to work towards circular economy goals and to reduce their damaging impact on the environment. Fast fashion - affordable, disposable and trend focused clothing fills our wardrobes and landfills. Not to mention the emissions generated by the industry.

Whilst preowned is taking off is the market focused on quantity over quality? What’s yours is mine, aka Wyim, is focused on bringing sustainability to clothing from luxury high-street brands. Driven by the idea that established businesswomen may not be opting for preowned or contributing to the circular fashion economy as effectively or accessibly as they could.

Wyim was setup to enables style-conscious women, only purchasing specific high-end high-street brands the opportunity to change and share their wardrobes.

Solution

The platform has been designed with two key functionalities:

  • 1

    Selling couldn’t be easier - you simply create your account, enter details about the clothing you’d like to sell to Wyim and we’ll provide a price you can sell it to us for. If you’re happy to sell, we’ll then send you a shipping bag so you can post it to us, your garment will then undergo quality checks. Once your sales complete, we’ll send you payment
