Established in 2012, Hardly Ever Worn It is based in Marylebone, London.
The company has collaborated with various household names, playing a key role in Sotheby's first ever luxury handbag and accessories auction in 2020.
Additionally, HEWI previously partnered with British Vogue to host an online auction of items from the wardrobes of 23 supermodels, including Kate Moss and Gigi Hadid, with proceeds going to charity.
Introduced in the US in September 2020, and later in Europe in June 2022, Luxury Stores at Amazon showcases both established and emerging luxury fashion and beauty brands, such as Altuzarra, Eudon Choi, Elie Saab and Dr Barbara Sturm.

Collections on the site are sold directly by brands and designers, allowing them independent control over inventory, selection and pricing, according to Amazon.
Luxury Stores at Amazon announced the arrival of Hardly Ever Worn It with a spring campaign, where Amazon invites customers to discover 'luxury finds, loved before'.

'We're always looking to innovate and engage with our diverse customers, and launching pre-owned goods allows us to do just that, whilst also creating an opportunity for us to offer our customers accessible luxury,' said Ms Diaz.
Meanwhile, Tatiana Wolter Ferguson, CEO of HEWI, added that Amazon Luxury Stores provide increased visibility for luxury resale.
'Our collaboration with Amazon is a testament to our commitment to making high-end circular fashion accessible to a diverse and wide-reaching audience.
'By joining one of the world's most trusted marketplaces, we are able to bring this to fruition, enabling more people to experience the joy of resale.'
