Launch News: TORRID is the First Plus-Size Brand to Launch a Resale Program with RaaS

thredUP is thrilled to add Torrid, the #1 brand in the $85B U.S. women’s plus-size apparel and intimates market, to our ever-expanding portfolio of Resale-as-a-Service (RaaS) clients. 

Torrid is thredUP’s first plus-size brand to leverage our RaaS platform, significantly expanding consumers’ access to high quality secondhand garments. With less than 20% of eco-conscious brands catering to above-average sizes, size-inclusivity has been historically left out of the sustainable fashion space. Until now. The future of plus-size fashion is not only good for consumer’s wallets, it’s great for the planet. 

"We’re pleased to offer our customers an exciting and convenient opportunity to earn value by extending the lifetime of their clothes," said Lisa Harper, Chief Executive Officer at Torrid. "Working with thredUP is a natural step in our mission to become a more impactful brand, as we leverage its RaaS platform to contribute to a more sustainable future for fashion.”

The thredUP x Torrid Clean Out Program gives shoppers a responsible way to give their preloved clothing a second or even third life. Torrid customers in the U.S. can now fill any shippable box with apparel, shoes, and accessories from any brand, and ship it to thredUP for free in exchange for shopping credit to spend at Torrid for items that are resold. Torrid also offers a bonus payout, increasing the value sellers get for their items.

Torrid is an inspiring brand that aims to have a positive impact on the lives of the women it serves. We couldn’t be more excited to work together in support of their mission to empower curvy women to love the way they look and feel,  and to be their partner on this important and strategic initiative!
