Meet Archive… an engine of branded resale / recommerce and the “#SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day” for March 11.
Archive is a leading technology platform that specializes in enabling brands to create and manage their own resale programs. Archive’s platform provides brands with the tools to offer a circular shopping experience, from collecting pre-owned items to reselling them directly through branded resale sites. Now supporting over 55 brands across 10 countries, Archive serves a diverse range of categories such as apparel, footwear, accessories, kids, home goods and outdoor gear. Founded in 2019, the company has rapidly gained traction in the recommerce space and recently raised $30 million in Series B funding to expand its services.
Through its innovative technology, Archive empowers brands to contribute to sustainable living by enabling the circular economy.
