Emily Erkel – Co-Founder

Founded by sisters Elise Whang and Emily Erkel, LePrix was built on a shared vision to make the world of pre-owned luxury more connected, accessible, and scalable.

The company originally launched as SnobSwap, a marketplace connecting consumers with luxury consignment boutiques. As the business evolved, the sisters recognized a much larger opportunity: retailers and resellers needed a better way to access trusted pre-owned luxury inventory from suppliers around the world. In 2018, SnobSwap became LePrix, marking the beginning of its transformation into a global B2B platform dedicated to powering the business of pre-owned luxury.

Today, LePrix connects professional buyers with a curated network of vetted suppliers and access to luxury handbags, accessories, jewelry, watches, and more from the world’s most sought-after brands. Through technology, global sourcing, logistics, authentication support, and industry expertise, LePrix simplifies a traditionally fragmented supply chain and makes it easier for businesses of all sizes to source and scale pre-owned luxury.

As demand for pre-owned luxury grew, so did LePrix’s global reach.

In 2022, LePrix expanded into Paris, placing the company at the center of one of the world’s most influential luxury markets. The European presence strengthened relationships with suppliers throughout the region while creating greater access to highly sought-after inventory for LePrix buyers worldwide.

In 2023, LePrix established a presence in Japan, home to one of the world’s most established and respected secondhand luxury markets. Working more closely with leading Japanese suppliers gave LePrix access to an exceptional selection of pre-owned luxury while further strengthening its international sourcing network.

With teams and partnerships spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia, LePrix has built a global infrastructure designed to connect supply and demand across borders.

What began as a marketplace has grown into an ecosystem built for the businesses shaping the future of resale.

From independent resellers sourcing their next best-selling handbag to established retailers building and scaling an entire pre-owned luxury category, LePrix provides the inventory, technology, expertise, and infrastructure needed to grow.

As the global resale market continues to evolve, LePrix remains focused on the mission that inspired its founders from the beginning: connecting the world’s best luxury inventory with the businesses and customers searching for it.
