Curtsy

Curtsy is a peer-to-peer mobile app and digital marketplace founded in 2015, designed for women to buy, sell, and rent secondhand clothing, shoes, and accessories.

The platform emphasizes sustainable fashion and affordable trends, allowing users to monetize their closets and shop for unique items directly from their phones. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Curtsy operates as a non-inventory platform, meaning all orders ship directly from sellers to buyers. The app features a rental service for dresses, enabling women to rent items based on location and occasion. Curtsy also includes a fashion blog for style updates and community content. The company generates revenue by taking a 20% fee from each sale and offers significant discounts to buyers, enhancing the value of shopping on the platform. Curtsy primarily targets Gen Z women aged 15–30, providing a simple and engaging alternative to traditional resale apps.
