CONTINUED is a circular e-commerce platform for fashion.
It was launched in 2017 with the aim of creating a generic software solution for circular consumption in the fashion industry. Recirculating clothes is up to 3000% more efficient than reusing material in reducing the fashion industry's environmental footprint.
The platform connects up brands and consumers. It offers dashboard tools for Sales, Inventory, Finance and Impact, as well as a Webshop back-end supporting several rent/resale models, account management and payment.
CONTINUED is fashion as a service and sustainability as a product. It lets brands explore future business opportunities based on the circular economy while carrying out existing business activities.
