Sign of the Times, a London-based luxury resale platform, has acquired certain assets from the start-up Cudoni, which collapsed into administration in April 2023, citing the rising cost of living and economic crisis as the main reasons to cease trading. Founded nearly 50 years ago in 1976, the Sign of the Times store is situated in Chelsea, London and is renowned as the destination for buying and selling luxury items.  The acquisition will increase the Sign of the Times database by 35% and will be financed independently by Sign of the Times.

Antonia Johnstone, the owner and CEO of Sign of the Times commented: “At Sign of the Times we are passionate about bringing new life to pre-loved pieces. We believe strongly in the circular economy and to extend the lifecycle of clothes and accessories, so we are so pleased to be working to acquire the assets of Cudoni. We share the same pre-loved values, so we are also thrilled to be welcoming their customers to Sign of the Times”.
