So far, Treet’s clients include denim brand Boyish and women’s apparel label Aday.
Rather than integrating a resale marketplace onto a brand’s existing e-commerce platform, Treet operates its own independent resale backend that streamlines all operations and customer service back to Treet so the brand client doesn’t have to be overwhelmed by resale-related support issues, according to co-founder and chief executive Jake Disraeli.

Treet, founded in January 2021, joins a growing field of resale B2B services currently courting brands, including Trove, ThredUp and fellow newcomers Archive, Recurate and the Archivist.
