HIVED has announced its launch with major fashion retailer Karen Millen, offering London-based Karen Millen customers same-day delivery options for the first time.

HIVED operates an entirely electric fleet of vehicles end-to-end, significantly reducing retailer’s supply chain GHG emissions in the middle and last mile by 56-76% per parcel. With nationwide collection across the whole of the UK and delivery to all of Greater London, HIVED has grown exponentially since its founding in 2021 and operates a reliable and extensive delivery network designed for the mass-market, delivering for brands such ASOS and Zara.

Karen Millen, part of the Boohoo Group, was founded in 1981 and is today an established premium brand, making clothes for the modern woman.

Natasha Hackett, Brand Director at Karen Millen shared: "Karen Millen is extremely excited to be offering same-day delivery with HIVED. This provides our London customers with even more flexibility to shop last minute, catering to her busy lifestyle demands.”

David Parsons, Group Head of Delivery Solutions at Boohoo Group, added: "Our engagement with HIVED has been positive from the start. The service has been excellent and the customer experience via their innovative tracking and attention to detail has been really impressive."

HIVED and Karen Millen celebrated the launch of their partnership with a co-branded electric van, as featured in a video announcing London same-day delivery for Karen Millen customers.

HIVED co-founder Murvah Iqbal shared: “Karen Millen is an iconic brand for so many women. Since the early days of the brand, Karen Millen has championed women breaking the mould and paved the way for modern women’s fashion. We’re thrilled to launch their London same-day deliveries and look forward to continuing to build out our partnership in some incredible ways.”
