“Journeys Second–Hand” is powered by thredUP’s
Resale-as-a-Service® (RaaS®), which enables the world’s leading
fashion brands and retailers to deliver customizable, scalable
resale experiences to their customers. Journeys is the first
footwear retailer with an apparel-only resale site powered by
thredUP’s RaaS. The company joins more than 40 retailers offering
resale programs through RaaS, including J.Crew, Tommy Hilfiger and
Madewell.
More than half of Gen Z are more likely to shop with a brand
that offers secondhand clothing alongside new, according to
thredUP’s 2023 Resale Report. Journeys’ Group President Mario
Gallione is confident that “Journeys Second-Hand” will add more
convenience to its target Gen Z customers as well as support
Journeys’ sustainability efforts.
“We’re picky about our partnerships because we know that teens
are pretty picky about where they shop, as well as what they choose
to wear,” said Gallione. “thredUP was the right partner for us to
enter the resale market based on its ability to fulfill the needs
of our core teen consumers and offer the brands, styles and trends
they see on social media. But beyond adding value to our online
capabilities, thredUP’s platform also supports our larger corporate
ESG initiatives.”
Journeys makes it easy for customers to find branded footwear
they love, and with “Journeys Second-Hand,” customers can now build
a secondhand outfit that supports their personal style—all on the
Journeys website. Through “Journeys Second-Hand,” customers can
purchase secondhand apparel from Journeys at journeys.thredup.com.
Customers can also earn Journeys shopping credit for sending in
gently-worn items. To participate in Clean Out, customers can
generate a prepaid shipping label from journeys.thredup.com, fill
any shippable box or bag with apparel, shoes, and accessories from
any brand in their closet, and ship it to thredUP for free. For
items that sell, customers receive Journeys credit that can be used
both online and in-store.
“We’re thrilled to see Journeys, a footwear retailer, leverage
resale as a complimentary offering to its core business,” said
James Reinhart, CEO of thredUP. “Journeys is the retailer of choice
for so many of today’s young consumers, many of which value
individuality and sustainability. We’re proud to power a resale
solution for a company that believes in the future of secondhand
and is taking meaningful steps towards a more sustainable
future.”
