Designer Wardrobe, the famed online retail start-up, has confirmed it plans to expand over into Australia.

The company was founded in 2015, and it connects sellers looking to part with their pre-loved designer clothing with buyers looking for bargains.

CEO Aidan Bartlett says the company's seen a surge in demand - including increased interest from Australian consumers.

"For us, it's just saying - hey, we believe in this platform and where it can go. So we're just pushing that button and doing it now, rather than waiting. It just makes a lot of sense for us."
