Vinted Hits €8B Valuation After Massive Secondary Sale

Lithuanian secondhand marketplace Vinted closes ~€880M secondary share sale, pushing its valuation to €8B.

Vinted just leveled up. The Lithuania-based secondhand clothing marketplace completed a secondary share sale worth approximately €880 million, catapulting its valuation to €8 billion. That's a hefty jump from the €5 billion it was valued at in 2024.

The deal was led by EQT, with Teachers' Venture Growth and Schroders Capital also buying in. The transaction involved selling existing shares — meaning no new capital was raised for the company itself, but early investors and employees got a payday.

The valuation leap signals strong investor confidence in the resale economy. Vinted has carved out a dominant position in European peer-to-peer fashion resale, and buyers are clearly betting the market has plenty of room to grow.

An €8 billion price tag puts Vinted firmly among Europe's most valuable private tech companies.
