High End, an Australian platform for buying and selling luxury pre-owned fashion, has announced it is closing down.
"Over the past decade, High End has grown into a community of 150,000 across Australia, all built on trust – that has always been at the core of what we do, and that hasn’t changed," co-founders Lauren Kennedy and Brooke Marks said via an EDM to members.
"Behind the scenes, we’ve been building the authentication technology that powers High End, now known as VerityAI."
"To take this where it needs to go, VerityAI now has our full focus, with the goal of making it safer for you to buy and sell secondhand."

To support sellers, High End has teamed up with Authentified, a platform designed for wardrobe buying and selling. You can find out more on that partnership here.
"As for our community on our socials, we're not going anywhere," Kennedy and Marks said.
"High End is evolving into something new, and we'll be sharing more soon."
If you have any questions during the transition, you can reach the team via clientservices@highend.app.
The High End marketplace app will be closing on May 6th, 2026.
