Cornermarket is a South Korean fashion resale platform specializing in the consignment and sale of used clothing for children, women, and men. Founded in 2018 by CEO Kim Junmo, the company emerged from identifying the needs of parents looking for a convenient way to sell children's clothing that is quickly outgrown.
The business operates on a C2B2C model, simplifying the resale process for individuals. Sellers request a "Cornerback" from the company, fill it with clothes they wish to sell, and Cornermarket manages the entire process from collection, inspection, and professional photography to sales, shipping, and payment settlement. This model provides a hassle-free alternative to traditional C2C secondhand marketplaces. For buyers, the platform offers a curated selection of quality-inspected apparel at significant discounts, ensuring a reliable shopping experience.
Initially focused on children's apparel, Cornermarket has expanded its offerings to include women's and men's clothing. The company provides two main selling options: "Consignment Sale," where Cornermarket sells items on behalf of the owner, and "KG Instant Purchase," where it buys clothing by weight for immediate cash, guaranteeing a sale for all items. The service is accessible via its website and mobile applications for both Android and iOS. Based in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, the company has grown to over 20 employees and has processed tens of thousands of items since its inception.
