KURB Newsletter August 2026

This was by far KURB’s most busiest month and to think next month will just have us pushing harder. Every page, every backend endpoint, every technical integration, every business decision, every social channel has been teased, scrutinized and squeezed while adding a whole new assortment of new features. This will be a more expansive Newsletter where I’ll detail it all so sit tight and read on! There’s even a nice surprise waiting for you towards the end.

KURB's biggest change yet

Rest assured we are not going evil corporate mode just yet, though there will be critical changes to our core technology for the better. KURB has been up and running for over a year now, with major features laced between incremental daily improvements. Through these efforts and your feedback we have successfully constructed the most comprehensive and efficient secondhand designer search platform.

Independent Vendor Runs Secondhand Fashion's R&D Department (While also footing the whole entire bill)

Every ecosystem needs disturbed ground before a canopy can emerge. Something has to risk colonizing the hostile terrain, fixing the atmosphere, making the soil fertile, and sowing the first seeds. In the secondhand designer market, this catalytic role is the livelihood of the Independent Vendor.

KURB Newsletter July 2026

Sunburns aren't the only thing sizzling, KURB's servers have been doing their part for climate collapse this season too. This month we dropped KURB Report Q2, the most comprehensive analytical resource on the secondhand designer market available. You may have also caught whispers about KURB from your favorite fashion influencers lately, and while I don't know exactly what they're saying, I can confirm it's all true. We also put out a blog to save anyone lost in the KURB sauce.

Building A Bear

This summer we radically improved KURB's search technology in ways I didn't think possible, though it's a reminder that this isn't the first time the project has been fundamentally rebuilt. Two things have never changed: the philosophy driving us to make the secondhand designer ecosystem as accessible as possible, and our neurotic conviction to build a sick tool for the community.
