Responsible

Responsible is a streetwear resale marketplace that operates with a strong focus on sustainability within the fashion industry. The company provides a platform for the buying and selling of pre-owned streetwear, particularly sneakers, catering to a growing community of environmentally conscious fashion enthusiasts.

The business model is centered around making the resale process more transparent and profitable for users. The platform facilitates a trade-in program where used items, like sneakers, undergo an expert cleaning and restoration process before being listed for sale. This approach not only extends the lifecycle of fashion items but also adds value for both the seller and the buyer.

Responsible generates revenue through its marketplace by taking a commission on the transactions. The company also seeks to partner with fashion brands to further promote sustainable practices within the industry. With headquarters in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and a satellite office in New York, the company has secured $6.6 million in seed funding to support its expansion plans in Europe.
