Ep. 60 - Kirsten Kore & Costa Koulis, Co-Founders & Co-CEOs of Designerex
Feb 27, 2023 Season 3 Episode 60

Today we are joined by Kirsten Kore and Costa Koulis, the Co-Founders and Co-CEO’s of Designerex. What started as an exercise in trust on Facebook, has now turned into the world’s largest peer-to-peer Designer Dress Sharing Platform.

The business began in 2015 and now boast over 80,000 designer dress listings, with more 7,000 active lenders, and over 1,000 fashion brands available.  

During our conversation with Kirsten and Costa, we discuss the creation of the business, its evolution since conception, the mutually beneficial partnership created by Designerex and the seller or renter, who their core customer is, how 2020 played out and how they’ve bounced back, and what the future holds for this incredibly successful business.

We hope you enjoy this conversation…
