Scamp & Dude is the latest brand to launch into resale with a new marketplace called Pre-Loved.
The B Corp Certified fashion brand said the official resale marketplace is “designed to give beloved pieces a second life and spread superpowers even further”.
It’s been created exclusively for members of Scamp & Dude’s Charge Your Bolt programme and “makes it effortless for fans to sell their pre-loved Scamp & Dude pieces and shop sustainably within the community”.
Those who sell their items will receive 110% of the sale value in store credit.
Jo Tutchener Sharp, the brand’s founder and CEO, said: “Launching our pre-loved marketplace marks an important step in our journey to transform fashion into a force for good. As a B Corp brand, we’re deeply committed to creating clothing with purpose—pieces that empower, inspire, and spread a little kindness. By giving Scamp & Dude favourites a second life, we’re not just extending their story; we’re passing on their superpowers to others who may need them too.”
A pre-owned element is increasingly a must-have brand retailers and brands. Only recently John Lewis launched into pre-owned childrenswear in a link with Kidswear Collective and earlier this year Lucy & Yak expanded its involvement in pre-owned by taking its own initiative online.
An Oxfam study last year suggested that 10% of Britons buy mainly pre-owned and it was predicted that last Christmas would see over 40% of people giving at least one pre-owned gift.

Online retailer Showroomprivé announced on Wednesday that it has signed a letter of intent to divest its 52.75% majority stake in The Bradery to the platform’s two executives and co-founders, Timothée Linyer and Edouard Caraco.
In mid-March, Showroomprivé reported a net loss of nearly 40 million euros for 2024, notably due to a “remeasurement of The Bradery acquisition debt”.
The transaction, estimated at 23 million euros, values The Bradery at 43.6 million euros, the group said in a press release. It “reflects the value created by Showroomprivé since the acquisition of The Bradery”, it added.
Showroomprivé acquired a 51% stake in The Bradery in May 2022 for 10.2 million euros; since then, the company has recorded strong growth, with revenue rising from 21.7 million to 62.9 million euros between 2021 and 2024, and a return to profitability.
The sale, which is due to take place before the end of the year, provides for an initial payment of 17 million euros at closing, with the balance to be paid in instalments, including potential earn-out payments depending on The Bradery’s future performance.
Showroomprivé, which will present its third-quarter results on Thursday, reported a 16.5% year-on-year decline in revenue in the first quarter of 2025 amid “persistent market sluggishness”.
