Job description
WHAT WE DO
Our purpose is simple - Preserve the past, whilst mindfully reinvent for the future.
We are the UK’s first and only fully-circular luxury retailer and a leading authority on preloved handbags. We buy, sell, restore and authenticate some of most coveted fashion brands including Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, just to name a few.

WHY WE DO IT
It’s no secret that the fashion industry has a sustainability problem. Opting for quality, buying for long-term, and investing wisely has never been so crucial.

And, as master restorers and handbag experts, we’re able to prolong the life cycle of handbags and preserve iconic styles for generations to come. In doing so, we’re able to reduce the amount of waste that ultimately ends up in landfill, building handbags back to their former glory so they can be admired and used again, and again, and again.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
As well as being part of a sustainable business that’s changing the world, one handbag at a time, you’ll enjoy an open and friendly culture where everyone is valued and has equal, and unlimited, growth potential.
