À propos

Dr Henry McNeill-Njoku is a lifelong car boot sale enthusiast. He has been a key player in the UK second hand fashion scene since founding HMS Vintage, a reputable online vintage shop, back in 2015. Over the years, Henry became more and more disillusioned with the selling experience on existing secon

...

d hand platforms, becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of innovation, appreciation for 'top sellers' and the sea of low-quality items drowning out his high-quality stock. So for him, starting Known Source was a no-brainer. He wanted to create a marketplace that finally puts the needs of the community first. A platform that finally gives voice to the amazing individuals that drive the industry. A movement that finally changes how second hand is viewed by the wider fashion industry.

Known Source, a new online marketplace founded by friends Henry McNeill-Njoku and Theo El-Kattan, is changing the way we shop second-hand. In recent years the growth of the resale industry and platforms such as Depop and ASOS Marketplace has led to sellers forgoing quality, instead just offering as m

any products as possible. Henry and Theo founded Known Source earlier this year to combat this, prioritising quality, authenticity and promoting small businesses.
