Circular Feature Showcase: Òpera Garment Solutions
Òpera Garment Solutions, founded in Barcelona in 2024, helps global fashion brands and retailers boost resale revenue through professional, ultra-convenient garment care.
Founded by Joanna Lambert and Ben Whitaker, Òpera brings together Girbau (one of the world’s top five laundry equipment manufacturers) and RMX Recommerce (a leading digital platform and WMS for circular business models). Together, they power circular fashion growth through a certified partner network offering professional wet-cleaning technology, garment care expertise, and digital resale tracking.
Òpera supports premium and luxury brands, mid-market apparel retailers, department stores, and multi-brand platforms by managing the entire process: collection, logistics, tracking, professional reconditioning, and resale ready preparation. With strict sustainability and quality standards, they safeguard brand integrity while turning idle or written-off inventory into new revenue streams.
Best of all, no ERP change or technical integration is required - Òpera fits seamlessly into existing workflows!
Looking ahead, Òpera plans to expand its certified network across Europe, forge new strategic partnerships, and onboard more brands and retailers into its programme. Their growth strategy is anchored in building trust and proving resale ROI from day one.
“We want to become the go-to infrastructure for revenue generation through brand-led fashion resale across Europe, enabling brands to reclaim value from garments that would otherwise be downgraded or left idle”.
Òpera is now inviting fashion brands and garment retailers into its Early-Access Pilot Programme, designed to demonstrate ROI with real inventory. If you’re holding high-value returned or unsellable stock, launching or scaling pre-loved initiatives, or looking for ESG results with measurable ROI, reach out ASAP:
