Circular Fashion Marketplace Partnerships
Depop Partners with Eckhaus Latta for Archive-Based Drop
Grace Mahas — October 29, 2024Fashion resale marketplace Depop is advancing circular fashion through a strategic partnership with avant-garde label Eckhaus Latta, launching an exclusive shop featuring over 60 curated archive pieces. The collection combines previously unreleased designs with memorable runway pieces, including an AW21 faux leather corset and SS22 square toe clogs, all personally selected by founders Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta. The initiative demonstrates how luxury fashion brands can extend their products' lifecycles while maintaining brand integrity through controlled resale channels.
The partnership exemplifies the growing convergence of high-end fashion with sustainable retail models, featuring seven one-of-a-kind unreleased pieces alongside archive selections from past collections. By offering specialty runway items worn by VIP guests at their recent SS25 show, including an AW18 Shibori-Dyed Wide Leg Jean, the collaboration creates a unique circular fashion narrative that elevates secondhand shopping while providing accessible entry points to luxury fashion. This approach aligns with increasing consumer demand for sustainable fashion options that don't compromise on style or brand exclusivity.
