The destination for luxury re-commerce. Hewi boasts an expert curation of brands and an unparalleled commitment to customer service for buyers and sellers alike. A forerunner in resale, since its inception in 2012 the platform has pioneered and paved the way for pre-owned fashion, revolutionising the industry in building a circular economy that’s now leading global conversation and urgent change in how the world shops luxury. We are a dedicated, entrepreneurial and creative team, with a mission to drive fashion forward for good. We recently collaborated with Sotheby’s to create its first ever luxury handbag and accessories auction; and last year, we partnered with Vogue to host a sale of items from the wardrobes of 23 supermodels including Kate Moss and Gigi Hadid with proceeds going to charity. In 2022, we will launch a new online platform combining digital innovation with unequalled sartorial expertise and bespoke customer service to further enhance the re-commerce experience.
