US' DVF partners with Archive for ReWrap resale platform

The Missed Connections section will even include a ‘Diane in Search Of’ list where the designer herself puts out a call for the pieces she wants to add to her own closet, including items from the 2014 Andy Warhol print collection. The search feature is designed to encourage potential sellers to come back often to see if they might have an in-demand item hanging in their own closet, DVF and Archive said in a joint press release.

“ReWrap makes room for everyone—those who have loved DVF over the years can give their pieces new life and younger generations can discover pieces from the past,” said Diane von Furstenberg, founder of DVF.

“We are so excited about the launch of ReWrap,” said Talita von Furstenberg, co-chairwoman, DVF. “The site has been created to celebrate DVF’s unique history, with imagery from our iconic archives and a name that specifically honours the wrap dress.”
