OnTheList was founded by Delphine Lefay Dultzin on the insight that luxury brands often have excess inventory but lack proper channels to liquidate it without harming brand perception, as reported by Inside Retail Asia.

The platform operates as a members-only flash sale site, allowing luxury brands to offer discounted products in limited-time events to a curated customer base. This discreet approach preserves brand exclusivity while moving surplus stock.

OnTheList has grown across multiple Asian markets, including Hong Kong and Singapore, demonstrating the viability of its model in solving a persistent challenge in the luxury retail industry.
