5 Online Thrift Stores For The Best Vintage Clothing
Thrifting doesn’t mean you have to leave the house!
Going thrifting is a great way to find new clothes and cool unique pieces, without having to spend loads of money. It’s also a great way to be more sustainable in the era of fast fashion, by shopping for vintage and pre-loved pieces which can often come with similarly low pricetags. Here are some online thrift stores to check out, so you can thrift straight from your bed!
1. Poshmark
Poshmark has both a website and app which allows you to search for pre-loved clothing. The platform encourages you to bargain with sellers to get the best prices and you can also sell your own clothes that you’re no longer into, so it’s a great way to make a bit of money on the side too.
2. Maevan Vintage
Maevan Vintage is a Brooklyn based vintage online store, and you’ll be able to find everything you could possibly be looking for. Whether you’re looking for 90s or 60s trends, the Etsy based business has a wide selection of pre-loved pieces, including some that have a designer label!
3. ThredUP
ThredUP is an online store based in San Fransisco and is one of the biggest online thrift stores with over 2 million items across 35,000 brands, so whatever your budget you’ll be able to find something to your taste, even Emma Chamberlain has featured them in one of her YouTube videos, so if Emma loves them we do too! They’re also super inclusive with a wide range of both plus-size and petite clothing available which is great for all body types.
4. Vestiaire Collective
If you’re into designer labels, Vestiaire is the place to go. You’ll be able to find a wide range of vintage handbags, shoes, clothing and accessories from all of the world’s biggest designers. The great news is you can even get a student discount by using your Student Beans account! Buying vintage pieces from high-end designer labels means you’ll be able to get items for lower than the retail price, but often the price tag can still be pretty pricey so don’t forget your discount code!
5. Persephone Vintage
Another Etsy store with rave reviews. You’ll be able to find unique pieces to suit all styles, including stunning vintage wedding dresses (you know, if you’re already planning for the future). If you’re going for a classic and classy look, Persephone Vintage has everything you need.
