Vintage Cash Cow and Arcavindi, part of Vintage.com, exist to create a world where everything has value and nothing is wasted, on a global scale.
Together, we form the UK and European operations of the Vintage Group, united by one purpose, one mission, and one set of values.
Vintage Cash Cow is our UK operation and the foundation of our business. It’s where our model was built, tested, and proven, making it easy for customers to sell multiple pre-loved valuables in one simple, trusted journey. Arcavindi is our European operation. Built on the same proven model, it takes what works in the UK and adapts it for new markets across Europe, allowing us to scale our impact internationally.
While our brands reflect different markets, we are one business, working as one team. Our people collaborate across borders, share ownership of outcomes, and bring the same care, fairness, and common sense to everything we do.
Behind the scenes, we are building the world’s largest international trading platform for pre-loved items, powered by expert people, smart data, and a shared belief in the circular economy.
Every item we buy is rehomed, reused, or responsibly recycled — keeping valuable materials in play and out of landfill, and ensuring we always treat customers and their treasures with care and respect.
