Case Study: Vestiaire Collective achieves rapid international expansion and scalable high‑volume content translation with Lionbridge

Why Lionbridge’s Translation Services were Key to Vestiaire’s International Expansion

Vestiaire Collective is an online marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned fashion that needed to localize thousands of French product descriptions each week to expand into new markets. To solve this, Vestiaire Collective used Lionbridge’s API translation service to translate item descriptions quickly and affordably for international audiences.

Using the Lionbridge API allowed Vestiaire Collective to process about 500 translation jobs per day (peaking over 1,000), with integration taking 2–4 weeks, enabling the UK launch and rapid site traffic growth. Lionbridge’s scalable, low‑cost translations increased cross-border transactions, improved seller visibility and satisfaction, and made the international rollout commercially viable.
