Abercrombie & Fitch Co, a global specialty retailer of apparel and accessories has partnered thredUP, the world’s largest fashion resale marketplace. This partnership allows customers to send in their clothing for gift cards to be redeemed at Abercrombie & Fitch, abercrombie kids, Hollister and Gilly Hicks. A&F Co is thredUP’s latest Resale-as-a-Service (RAAS) cleanout distribution partner.
A&F Co customers in the US can now request a thredUP clean out kit or download a prepaid shipping label at www.thredup.com /Abercrombie or www.thredup.com /hollister to send any brand of like-new women’s or children’s clothing to thredUP. Once the garments are received and processed by thredUP, customers will earn Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister gift cards — ultimately gaining credit for future purchases while keeping clothes out of landfills.
A&F Co’s partnership with thredUP also supports the retailer’s commitment to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate citizenship and sustainability initiative. A&F Co joined the UNGC in 2019, and recently submitted its first annual communication on progress towards its long-term social and environmental sustainability goals. The thredUP collaboration aligns with numbers 12 and 17 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, which encourage responsible consumption and production and building partnerships that support the goals, respectively.
