GOTHENBURG – Swedish apparel retailer Lindex is to pilot a new second-hand fashion service as it looks to gain “valuable insights” into how it can scale circular business models.
Anna-Karin Dahlberg, head of sustainability at the company, said: “With second hand, we can give our customers both the possibility to hand in clothes that are not being used anymore and the opportunity to buy preloved pieces. It is a circular business model that prolongs the lifetime of our clothes and sharpens our total offer to meet our customers’ needs, today and tomorrow. A win-win for our customer and for the climate.”
