BIANCA, SUSTAINABILITY HAS LONG BEEN A CORE VALUE OF YOUR BRAND. HOW DOES THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VOLTE AND EBAY ALIGN WITH YOUR VISION FOR A MORE CIRCULAR AND RESPONSIBLE FASHION INDUSTRY?

“Sustainability has always been at the core of what Bianca Spender does, and this partnership with The Volte and eBay feels like a natural extension of that mission. Circularity is incredibly important to me – it’s about rethinking how fashion can be more mindful, more responsible, and ultimately more enduring.

Every collection I design is created with real intention. I’m deeply involved in every stage – from the initial concept through to development and manufacturing, so there’s a strong focus on quality, longevity, and timelessness. These pieces are made to be loved and lived in for years to come.

Platforms like The Volte and eBay are amazing because they help extend the life of each garment. Whether it’s renting or reselling, they allow more people to enjoy and value pieces in a way that’s both accessible and sustainable. It’s exciting to be part of a shift that supports a more circular fashion economy, where beautiful design and responsibility go hand in hand.”

THE VOLTE AND EBAY’S ONE CLICK SOLUTION OFFERS CUSTOMERS A SEAMLESS WAY TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THEIR GARMENTS. WHAT IMPACT DO YOU HOPE THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL HAVE ON CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR AND THE BROADER FASHION LANDSCAPE?

“Over the last 17 years of the Bianca Spender brand, we’ve taken a lot of pride in educating our customers about the thoughtfulness and intention behind every piece we create. It’s been incredible to build a community that truly values quality, longevity, and conscious design. As a result, our customers are incredibly considered when building their wardrobes, curating pieces that are timeless, versatile, and deeply personal.

What’s exciting about this technology is how it empowers people to extend the life of their garments with ease. Whether through rental or resale, it gives customers the opportunity to pass on their pre-loved pieces as their personal style or lifestyle evolves, keeping the pieces in circulation and out of landfill.

I’m especially energised by how engaged the younger generation is when it comes to sustainability. There’s a real appreciation for vintage and pre-loved fashion, and that shift is bringing new energy to circularity. It also opens the door for someone who might be new to the brand to experience a piece for the first time through a rental or second-hand purchase. This is such a beautiful way to build connection and tread lightly on our natural world.”
 

AS ONE OF THE VOLTE AND EBAY’S FOUNDATION PARTNERS AND EARLY ADOPTERS TO EMBRACE THIS KIND OF INNOVATION, WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU HOPE THIS SENDS TO THE INDUSTRY AND YOUR PEERS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF FASHION?

“As a designer, I’m always aware that creating, no matter how thoughtful, does carry an element of waste. That’s why I believe it’s our collective responsibility to design garments that truly endure. Pieces that are made to last, to be cherished, and to be shared.

Launching this kind of innovation sends a strong message that fashion can, and must, evolve. We now have the tools and technology to integrate circular practices seamlessly into the fashion lifecycle to support a more responsible product journey.

I hope this encourages more of the industry to lean into change. Embracing new channels like resale and rental isn’t just about sustainability, it’s about redefining the value of fashion, and putting the environment at the forefront of how we design, produce and consume. That, to me, is the future we should all be working toward.”
