Curtsy is a mobile application designed to facilitate the buying and selling of clothing, shoes, and accessories directly between women. Available on the Apple App Store, Curtsy operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace, connecting sellers with buyers seeking sustainable and affordable fashion options. The platform distinguishes itself by not holding any inventory; instead, all orders are shipped directly from the seller to the buyer, streamlining the process and reducing overhead. Curtsy generates revenue by applying a 20% fee to each completed transaction. Their marketing strategy centers around attracting Gen Z women aged 15-30, a demographic they believe is currently underserved by larger resale platforms such as Poshmark and eBay. This targeted approach allows Curtsy to build a loyal user base within a specific niche of the resale market.
