Nivo runs a circular fashion platform called The Circuverse that collects used or excess garments from partner brands, refurbishes them in dedicated Renewal Centers, and resells the restored items in its physical stores. By extending product lifespans, Nivo turns potential waste into resale value, offering environmentally conscious consumers affordable, like‑new clothing while helping brands reduce waste and generate additional revenue.

Problem
Fashion items often become waste after a single season, leading to excess inventory, landfill disposal, and missed opportunities to recapture value from used garments.
Solution
Nivo operates a circular fashion system called “The Circuverse” that extends the lifespan of clothing through three core steps: collection, refurbishment, and resale. Partner brands send used or excess products to Nivo’s Renewal Centers, where each item is carefully cleaned, repaired, and prepared for a second life. Refurbished pieces are then offered to new customers in Nivo’s physical stores, turning potential waste into resale value and supporting a closed‑loop fashion economy.
Target Audience
Primary customers are environmentally conscious consumers seeking affordable, high‑quality second‑life fashion, and fashion brands looking to reduce waste and create additional revenue from unsold inventory.
