On average, 22 million pieces of furniture are thrown away or incinerated in the UK every year. However, just as secondhand shopping has made waves in the fashion world, the secondhand interiors market is beginning to catch up and has an expected worth of $80 billion by 2029.
Founded in 2021, Narchie saw the secondhand homewares market gap forms a part of this, and led the charge with its "waste culture" challenging homeware marketplace app. The company set itself apart from existing marketplaces Gumtree, eBay and Facebook Marketplace by actively promoting the circular lifestyle of interiors through its uniquely innovative platform.
The company’s vast ecosystem of sellers is made up of independent brands, artists, individuals, and more, all with the aim of supporting sustainability and reducing waste. Narchie is well set to see further expansion as it leads the growing secondhand homewares market.
