Dewu

Dewu (得物App) is a Chinese e-commerce platform positioned at the intersection of streetwear, sneakers, and youth culture, with Gaorong Ventures among its early backers . The app originated as a sneaker authentication and resale marketplace and has since expanded into broader "trend" categories — in February 2021 it launched an "Art" section selling works ranging from calligraphy to Murakami prints . By early 2023, Dewu was pitching itself as a brand-building engine for youth-oriented labels, announcing a "2023 Brand Plan" that claimed to have helped 6,950 brands reach young consumers over the prior year . The platform has also sought to own the "guochao" (China chic) narrative: a June 2022 report co-published with Xinhua, using Dewu user data, found that young consumers' purchases of domestic heritage-themed goods had grown more than tenfold . Elsewhere's corpus does not cover Dewu's more recent positioning or financials.
