Online aggregator for global luxury fashion brands MoreLess
Catch Fashion was a South Korean online luxury fashion platform founded in 2019 by CEO Lee Woo-chang. The company operated a platform that aggregated products from approximately 40 official distributors of global luxury brands, such as Matches Fashion and Net-a-Porter. This business model allowed consumers to compare prices and make purchases directly from these international retailers through Catch Fashion's integrated sales channels. The platform offered a range of fashion items including clothing, bags, and shoes.
The startup experienced rapid initial growth, surpassing a cumulative transaction amount of 80 billion won and securing around 38 billion won in cumulative investment funds by 2021. At its peak, it was the fourth-largest player in its market segment. However, following a downturn in the online luxury market after the pandemic, the company faced managerial difficulties and struggled to attract further investment. Citing these unavoidable circumstances, Catch Fashion officially suspended all services and ceased operations on March 19, 2024.
