Nordstrom’s in-store resale shop

Nordstrom is the latest department store retailer to tap into one of retail’s fastest-growing markets: previously-owned clothes and accessories.
Nordstrom has launched, See You Tomorrow, an online and in-store resale shop that features an edited, authenticated assortment apparel and accessories from highly coveted brands, the retailer said. It will also highlight special brand partnerships, starting with Ganni, a Copenhagen-based contemporary fashion brand.
At launch, Nordstrom’s resale initiative has been stocked with merchandise sourced from the Nordstrom Quality Center (NQC), the facility that receives and processes returned and damaged merchandise from Nordstrom’s full-price channels. All merchandise will be cleaned, repaired and refurbished before it becomes available for sale.
In addition, Nordstrom is launching a customer intake program in its New York flagship that will allow customers to bring in their “gently-used” used items in exchange for Nordstrom gift cards that can be spent across all the retailer’s online and store channels. The company plans to launch an online intake program where customers will have the ability to mail in merchandise.
Nordstrom has partnered with technology and logistics startup Yerdle to power the backend operations of the resale platform. Authentication of certain luxury designer items is being done in partnership with Entrupy.
