Description

ACHICA operates as a private sale platform, providing its members with exclusive access to up to 70% off luxury home, kitchen, garden, children's, gift, travel, and lifestyle brands. With new brands featured every day for 48 hours, ACHICA offers a diverse range of products based on classical and contemporary styles. By employing a closed model, ACHICA safeguards the brands it promotes by restricting access to search engines and price comparison sites. Co-founded by Quentin Griffiths, a former ASOS co-founder, and William Cooper, former CEO of TradeDoubler, ACHICA leverages their expertise in online retail to deliver a unique and curated shopping experience. Since launching in February 2010, ACHICA has become a go-to destination for members seeking amazing deals on luxury lifestyle accessories.
