About

Gilt City, Inc. specializes in offering exclusive access to luxury products and services, providing customers with the opportunity to purchase high-quality goods at discounted prices through a flash sales model. Gilt City operates as a luxury e-commerce platform focused on flash sales of designer goods. Founded in New York, US, it was established to connect consumers with exclusive deals on luxury items.


The company has maintained its core business model without significant pivots and does not report any subsidiaries. The founder, who has a background in luxury retail, has created a platform that continues to serve a diverse clientele. Gilt City has successfully participated in several funding rounds to support its operational growth. National Gilt provides a diverse range of luxury products and services that cater to a clientele seeking high-quality goods at discounted prices.


The company specializes in designer apparel, accessories, beauty products, and home goods, primarily through a flash sales model that offers time-sensitive discounts on various brands. Their platform allows users to access exclusive deals from renowned designers and lifestyle brands, enhancing the shopping experience with significant savings. National Gilt's offerings are available to both individual consumers and businesses, with a client base that spans across the United States and select international markets, including Canada and the United Kingdom. The company aims to solve the problem of accessibility to luxury items by providing a user-friendly platform that facilitates a seamless shopping experience while maintaining a sense of exclusivity.


National Gilt generates revenue primarily through direct-to-consumer sales on its digital platform, where transactions occur as customers make purchases during limited-time sales events. The company operates on a commission basis with partner brands, allowing them to showcase their products while Gilt takes a percentage of each sale. The revenue structure includes various pricing plans, offering consumers attractive discounts on a wide range of items, such as luxury apparel, accessories, and beauty products. Transactions are typically processed through a subscription model that may provide customers with early access to sales and exclusive deals.


This approach not only fosters customer loyalty but also enhances the overall value proposition of the services offered, ensuring a steady revenue stream for National Gilt. Gilt City plans to expand its product offerings by launching new categories of luxury items in the upcoming year, enhancing its portfolio to attract a wider customer base. Specific new products are expected to drop in Q3 2024, targeting the growing demand for sustainable luxury goods. Additionally, the company aims to enter new markets, including Australia and Germany, by the end of 2025.


Recent funding will be allocated to enhance the technology infrastructure and marketing efforts necessary to support these growth initiatives.
