London Called. We Picked Up.
FASHIONPHILE has crossed the pond with the acquisition of Luxe Collective, the resale platform that dominated the digital wild. This move marks our first international expansion and the beginning of FASHIONPHILE UK. Consider it our British Invasion.
The Who
Founded by brothers Ben and Joe Gallagher, Luxe Collective built a social-first resale brand where community and conversation shaped the culture. Their storytelling made luxury feel current, inclusive, and culturally fluent.
Now, Ben and Joe join FASHIONPHILE to lead our UK operations. Joe Gallagher steps in as Director of Operations for FASHIONPHILE UK, and Ben Gallagher as Director of Brand Marketing. Their perspective, paired with our industry leadership, creates a foundation built on trust, authenticity, and relevance.
A Digital Empire
Luxe Collective earned its following by turning resale into dialogue. The brand cultivated more than three million followers and over a billion views across platforms, with TikTok as the epicenter of its growth. When a major theft forced operations to halt earlier this year, the community stood by them every step of the way.
“Luxe Collective has always been about more than resale. Ben and Joe have built a real community that connects with luxury in a fresh and Replica way. The hardships they faced last year were heartbreaking, not only for Joe and Ben, but also their entire community. We could not be more thrilled to help bring a breath of life back into the essence of what Ben and Joe Gallagher started. This is about preserving their voice and giving it the resources to thrive on an international stage.”
—Sarah Davis, FASHIONPHILE Founder President
Tea for Two
The acquisition brings Luxe Collective’s social momentum into the FASHIONPHILE fold. It connects two brands that built loyalty through trust, transparency, and the thrill of the hunt. Together, we’re shaping a resale experience that feels personal, connected, and creatively alive.
“From day one, Luxe Collective has been about building community and creating a conversation around luxury that feels inclusive and exciting. With FASHIONPHILE, we now have the chance to bring that spirit to a global audience while staying true to the values that made our community so loyal from the start.”
—Ben Gallagher, FASHIONPHILE UK Director of Brand Marketing
