Established Ladies Preloved Designer & Highstreet Clothing, based in The Cotswolds

This is a confidential opportunity to acquire the goodwill, customer base, and operating framework of an established preloved women’s fashion business based in the Cotswolds.

The business has been operating successfully for three years and has built a strong level of trust within the local community, with a reputation for quality, discretion, and a welcoming, inclusive customer experience. It services not only its immediate location but also the surrounding areas, meeting a growing demand for curated, sustainable fashion.

The business operates on a consignment model, working closely with clients who place items for sale in return for an agreed commission. This approach has created long-standing relationships and repeat custom, supported by a loyal and extensive client list.

The client base includes high-net-worth individuals, and the business is accustomed to working with a high level of discretion, professionalism, and trust. This has been a key factor in its continued success and strong word-of-mouth reputation.

The brand and offering are values-led, with a clear focus on sustainability, circular fashion, and empowering local women. The business also gives back to the community through support of local charitable causes, which has further strengthened customer loyalty and brand credibility.

The sale relates to goodwill and operating framework only. The existing trading name is not included, and the buyer will be required to rebrand and trade under a new business name. Further details will be disclosed to serious parties following enquiry.

The business operates using established third-party digital systems to manage consignment stock and workflow, alongside AI-based image enhancement software for online presentation. Full system details will be disclosed following a signed confidentiality agreement.

Two years of trading accounts are available to serious buyers. The model is scalable and suitable for in-store, online, pop-up, or hybrid trading, with significant scope for growth for the right buyer.

The current retail premises are not included in the sale. Any future occupation would be subject to separate lease negotiation, as the lease is due for renewal. All third-party software and service agreements are contracted independently.

A structured handover period is available to ensure a smooth transition. Ongoing support from the founders, including operational training, authentication expertise, and strategic guidance, can be provided by separate agreement.

The business is offered for sale due to a change in personal circumstances.
