Preloved Mode was founded by someone who lives and breathes fashion — not just as a trend, but as a statement of identity, creativity, and responsibility. Combining tech expertise with a sharp eye for designer clothing. Marketa has founded the company in 2019, just before pandemic. Preloved Mode has made the first steps in August 2025 when Marketa has created an e-shop that makes preloved and pre-owned fashion more accessible, stylish, and sustainable. The goal? To give great fashion another chance — and help people shop smarter without sacrificing elegance.
👤 About the Founder
Hi, I’m Marketa, the founder and the owner of Preloved Mode. I am a a fashion lover with a background in IT and a passion for timeless style and numerous variations mixing different textures, patterns and styles. Not Harry Styles. I started this e-shop because I believe designer fashion should be timeless, expressive, and accessible — without compromising on quality or ethics. I’ve always loved the craftsmanship and detail that comes with designer clothing, but I also saw how much beauty was being left behind simply because it was “pre-owned.”
Prelovedmode is my answer to that. It’s a space where fashion lovers can discover authentic designer pieces that still have so much life and style to offer. Every item reflects my personal commitment to quality, sustainability, and the idea that great fashion never goes out of style — it just finds a new home.
This isn’t just resale. It’s fashion with purpose and perfect fashion story to tell.
