Recommerce means bringing the best things that we know and like from e-commerce and availing it for secondhand products,\u201d said co-founder and CEO Siu Rui.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carousell Campus also houses the Group\u2019s first Capabilities Centre &#8211; where the team authenticate and inspect products across its Certified programme, which guarantees quality and authenticity of&nbsp; high value items such as luxury bags before they go on sale in Carousell official stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;It boils down to trust and convenience as the biggest barriers stopping potential buyers and sellers of second-hand, and that&#8217;s really what we&#8217;re trying to do over the next decade,&#8221; said Siu Rui.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full feature on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/45aH0Dp\">Vulcan Post<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They grow up so fast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[45],"class_list":["post-4525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-carousell"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
