In what they refer to as a step towards becoming more circular and closing the loop on their product life cycle, Veilance has launched re-commerce platform under the title Re-System.
The new reselling platform will allow consumers to trade in gently used Veilance items and earn credit towards their next piece.
Following the structure of Arc’teryx’s Used Gear program, the goal for Re-System is to limit textile waste and extend the longevity of clothing.

Sadly not available for LEAF gear or Canadians.
Outdoor specialty clothing has become so expensive that you can’t buy any new stuff without giving back your old stuff. In related news, someone just came out with an annual “blue book” so you can find out what your old stuff should be worth as trade-in.
The real poor man move is just never buy anything new in the first place; the surprising thing is some of these recommerce sites are actually giving eBay a run for their money price wise.
