Headquartered in an elegant Mayfair townhouse in the heart of London, HEWI also offers an exclusive concierge service to VIP sellers, helping them to edit[ their wardrobes and choose what to sell on.

The business has become a global brand, partnering with numerous celebrities from the worlds of fashion, film, music, royalty and entertainment.
