We are Shedd, and we are trying to help the world make better use of
its possessions. We see the biggest opportunity right now in the fashion
segment, where; globalization, increased dispensable income in emerging
markets, social media obsession, and and fast fashion are creating
consumerism that is spiraling out of control.
We know that over 50% of the average woman’s wardrobe space is made
up of unworn or once-worn items in perfect condition. We think this is a
huge waste.
So Shedd created a fashion marketplace enabling people to be creative
and experimental – but in a more sustainable way. Promoting the
buy.wear.shedd. mentality.
A young and hungry company with a global footprint, backed by
dubizzle and Naspers – Shedd is an exciting place to work. We are
aggressively expanding into new markets, and are still agile enough to
test and iterate design systems with pace (as a start-up would), whilst
benefiting from the backing and experience of a global powerhouse, to
scale quickly
