Key Takeaways
Dabchy’s latest funding reflects the rising demand for circular fashion in Africa, where affordability and sustainability are becoming key trends. The second-hand clothing market is expanding as consumers seek budget-friendly options and brands face scrutiny over fast fashion’s environmental impact. With Janngo Capital and Renew Capital’s backing, Dabchy is positioned to scale across North Africa and beyond. The startup’s model, which integrates logistics and payments, removes common barriers to online resale adoption. As competition in online fashion resale grows, Dabchy’s success will depend on its ability to attract new users, maintain trust in its marketplace, and expand efficiently into new markets.
