"YPS Maket – Bridging Continents Through Fashion and Second-Hand Innovation
The First Second-Hand Platform in West Africa
Since 2017, YPS Maket has established itself as a pioneering platform in West Africa, redefining the shopping experience through innovation and inclusion. As the region’s first second-hand fashion platform, YPS connects African consumers with a vast range of fashion items from European websites and stores — all accessible from their fingertips.
A Dual Gateway: Europe to Africa, and Africa to the World
YPS not only empowers Africans to explore and purchase high-quality second-hand and mainstream fashion from Europe, but it also unlocks access to African fashion for Western customers — particularly the diaspora. With just a few clicks, customers abroad can acquire authentic, handpicked pieces from African designers without leaving their homes.
Showcasing African Talent in Europe
Since 2019, YPS has taken its commitment further by promoting African creativity through curated events across Europe. These exclusive showcases have brought together designers from across the continent, spotlighting the richness, diversity, and innovation of African fashion. Each event is more than a market — it is a cultural celebration and a strategic platform for visibility, exchange, and market access.
YPS Maket is more than a marketplace — it's a movement.
A movement that connects cultures, promotes circular fashion, and elevates African creators on the global stage."
