About Depop
Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell, and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is to make fashion circular—transforming how people engage with clothing by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.
Founded in 2011, Depop has reshaped the resale market, fostering a diverse community that has elevated secondhand fashion from a niche to the mainstream. Today, over 56 million registered users globally shop for great value, express their unique style, and extend the life of pre-loved items. We believe everything you want already exists—and our platform helps you find it.
Headquartered in London, with offices in New York, we power a team of over 500 people. In 2021, Depop became a subsidiary of Etsy, retaining our independent identity while adopting the robust infrastructure of the global marketplace for unique and creative goods.
Our Commitment to Inclusivity
Depop is dedicated to fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment that champions diversity—just as our platform connects people worldwide. We’re an equal opportunity employer, eliminating bias in hiring based on age, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected status. We strive for fairness through continuous recruitment process evolution and actively accommodate accessibility needs.
AI Disclosure
We utilise AI tools (Google Gemini) to aid our team in sourcing and reviewing applications for roles receiving high volumes. These tools assist in matching talent efficiently but never replace human decision-making. Every hiring choice remains human-driven.
