ONLINE THRIFTING

As a 25 year old girl who is obsessed with shopping, I call myself very high maintenance with expensive taste, but I sure can find a good coupon when it’s needed.

Each of these articles of clothing came from #depop, which is an online used clothing app. I have always sold my clothes on Mercari, but Depop is another level and has SO many more name brand options, and for CHEAP I might add.

Why pay $90 for a pair of Abercrombie jeans when you can get them basically like new, for $25?

... Read moreOnline thrifting is a burgeoning trend recognized for its sustainability and affordability. With platforms like Depop, users can find high-quality, pre-owned clothing at a fraction of retail prices. It's an excellent alternative to fast fashion, allowing for unique fashion statements while reducing waste. This method of shopping not only supports eco-friendly practices but also promotes creativity in style choices. Thrifting provides access to unique pieces, reflecting personal style without compromising financial health. The thrill of the hunt is part of the experience, where every purchase feels like a treasure found. For instance, the prices for popular items like Abercrombie jeans can drop significantly, often to around $25 for gently used pairs, making it an attractive option for savvy shoppers. Additionally, thrifted items often carry a story and charm that new clothes lack. Engage with vibrant online communities centered around thrifting, share discoveries, and make the most out of your thrifting experience. Embrace the joy of sustainable fashion and give your wardrobe a fresh update through online thrifting today!

A title slide with black text on a blurred background, stating "3 things we learned running an online thrift store (and how we fixed them)" with arrows pointing right.
A slide explaining that "Tag sizes are meaningless in secondhand fashion" due to variations, vintage sizing, and changes from wear, making online thrifting feel like gambling.
A slide detailing how the store stopped relying on tag sizes by hand-measuring every item, listing bust, waist, and hip ranges, and sorting by measurement, not size tag.
Running an online thrift store taught us a lot.
Most secondhand systems weren’t built to support real bodies or real sizing variance, so we stopped doing things the “normal” way. * We measure every piece while ignoring tag sizes. * We built a measurement-based size chart that works across brands, eras, and bodies. * We over-communicate on l
