“Pre-owned plays a key role on our way to be the Starting Point for Fashion”, says Torben Hansen, VP Recommerce at Zalando.” Over the past year, we have received very positive feedback for our Pre-owned category - customers appreciate the fast delivery, the high comfort in payment methods and returns, as well as our plastic-free packaging. This is why we put our convenience proposition in the center of our new Pre-owned campaign. ‘Drama Free’ represents what our Pre-owned experience is all about - connecting the fun of fashion shopping, freshness and self-expression with more sustainable fashion consumption and unmatched convenience.”
