LuxSeeker launches with over 100,000 luxury goods

New online UK luxury marketplace LuxSeeker.com has launched with more than 100,000 luxury new and pre-owned products for sale from shoes and accessories to watches and jewellery.

The new platform aims to offer luxury retailers an easy and effective way to sell their products to luxury buyers, which the marketplace states are a “notoriously difficult” target group to reach online.

LuxSeeker integrates detailed buyer guides, trends, and fashion news, plus the best of social media photos and videos to provide the buyer with “an educative and inspired buying experience”. Its recommendation engine crunches over 1,000 data points to deliver recommendations, curations and alerts across media platforms and social channels.

The marketplace, which has already attracted premier luxury retailers and specialist independents including Vestiaire Collective, Goldsmiths, and Shoeaholics as well as specialists from Hatton Garden such as Bouchon and Prestige Pawn Brokers, had a soft launch easier this year and now has more than 100,000 products available to purchase.

LuxSeeker looking to target “notoriously difficult” online luxury buyers

To target luxury buyers, LuxSeeker states that all retailers are “carefully selected” to ensure the authenticity of all products for sale, so customers be reassured that they are buying genuine, authentic items from trusted sellers. In addition unlike eBay and Amazon, there are no private sellers or ‘home traders’, as private sellers are actively encouraged to place their luxury goods with the specialist retailers who are listing to get a great hassle free, price and service.

Lead investor, Lee Williams, who launched and built the highly successful Auto Trader online, said: “I believe LuxSeeker.com can make the luxury online marketplace more accessible, in particular, we want to unlock all the amazing products and content stocked by both the major retailers and crucially all the independents from across the country into one specialist hub. LuxSeeker.com passionately believes that we can enable more of the population to attain the products that they aspire at prices that will surprise them.”

Williams added: “We are launching the first phase with 100,000 luxury products. Response from the luxury trade has been fantastic. We will be rapidly adding products, content and engaging consumer and retailer features month on month. This time next year we expect to list over 1 million products and services.”
