This Week's Obsession: Together, We Create More
As the year draws to a close, it’s natural to reflect on what we’ve achieved, what we’ve learned, and how we’ve grown. In the world of luxury and fashion, communities like PurseBlog and Purse Forum are abuzz with reflections from bag lovers worldwide. From discovering rare vintage finds to revisiting old favorites, these shared stories reveal the power of community in celebrating a shared passion.
The Power of Co-Ownership
We’ve built a co-ownership model that’s all about sharing: sharing your love for luxury, sharing access to designer bags, and sharing a commitment to sustainability. Together, our community has created a way to own more, experience more, and connect more—all without sacrificing quality or style. When you co-own with More, you’re not just purchasing a luxury item; you’re becoming part of a movement. A movement that redefines what it means to own, cherish, and share the finer things in life.
Imagine a world where owning a Tom Ford-era Gucci Chain Mini Bag or a Dior Book Tote doesn’t mean draining your savings or limiting your options. With More, you co-own iconic pieces with like-minded individuals, giving you access to a collection of seasonal bags, timeless classics, and everything in between. And just like the PurseForum community inspires its members to reflect, rotate, and rediscover their collections, our co-owners are part of a movement that rethinks what ownership means. With co-ownership, you’re not just acquiring a bag—you’re sharing stories, creating memories, and embracing a smarter way to enjoy luxury.
More isn’t just a platform; it’s a community. A community of like-minded individuals who believe in getting the most out of life and their collections, all while sharing the values of sustainability and quality.
Communities have a special place in the sharing or collaborative economy because sharing by nature cannot exist without the community. The sharing economy, characterised by the shared use of resources and services facilitated by platforms like Airbnb, Uber, and various peer-to-peer marketplaces, brings numerous benefits to communities. Having been customers of Airbnb and Uber I don't see them as a community but as a service that I am a customer of. For those sharing platforms that cultivate communities the benefits are plentiful for all parties.
Here are the Top 5:
1. Cost Savings and Additional Income:
Sharing resources reduces individual expenses and allows people to monetise things they own that they are willing to share. In the case of co-owning items the savings can be up to 80%.
2. Community Building and Social Cohesion:
Sharing platforms foster connections and enhance social cohesion because
participants develop a sense of belonging and build trust within the community. This then allows people to share more because they feel their items will be take care of - and off course that's good for sustainability.
3. Environmental Sustainability:
Resource optimisation reduces the need for new production, increase resource usage, and decreases waste and lowers the community's carbon footprint. If items are taken care of their lifespan can be extended and their value retain for sale on the secondary market.
4. Improved Access and Inclusivity:
- Provides access to goods and services that might be unaffordable otherwise or are impractical for many. A good example of this are luxury assets because while they represent quality and longevity they are highly desirable but due to their price tag, feel impractical or unaffordable. Sharing allows these goods more people to participate and enjoy these goods. While the cache of luxury maybe exclusivity at the end of the day, the more people who enjoy them the better for all.
5. Encouragement of Innovation and Entrepreneurship:
Sharing promotes innovative business models and new platforms. Recognising this potential, we saw a significant opportunity to to redefine how luxury consumers engage with luxury goods and each other.
