ThredUp Apparel Resale Store Creates New Outlet for Old Items

Melissa Daniels from Modern Retail has reported on the recent opening of an apparel resale store by ThredUp, which has not yet been announced officially.

The site’s name is 777Thrift and it contains a second-hand shop filled with items all priced $7 dollars and under. Incidentally, the shop is powered by Shopify on the back-end.

The types of items included in the store include items for Women, Boys, and Girls, and some interesting brands including Loft, Zara, Old Navy, JCrew, Banana Republic and American Eagle.

I imagine this could be an outlet for these brands who are facing huge overstock situations, and are looking for alternatives to jobbers or off-price retailers like TJ Maxx.

I can imagine that kid’s clothes could be the most interesting part of this because most parents think their kids just destroy all their clothes.
