Does a Vitamin a Day Keep The Doctor Away? Sustainable Supplements to Boost Your Immune System
Alice Hartwell
If you’re seeking a streamlined route to conscious shopping, then second-hand is your best avenue. Better for the planet, better for your wallet – it’s a win in all aspects. I’ve been a preowned covert for some time, loving both the bargain appeal, garments with a story and the feel-good effect of knowing I’m keeping an item circular. Few of us in the modern world are strangers to online marketplaces like Vinted or Depop, but when looking to invest, especially in authentic designer items, you’re likely to seek the safety of a trusted reseller.
Not only can you guarantee to get what you pay for in terms of the legitimacy of designer items (we’ve all heard the marketplace horror stories), but resellers typically offer a range of unique, carefully curated items that cant be found on a casual browse of your Depop FYP. In honour of Second-Hand September, I’ve created a rundown of my 10 favourite resellers to simplify your step forward towards responsible shopping habits.
Hailing from a Hackney studio, founder Clare launched Retold Vintage with a mission to keep classic designer pieces circular. Over a few short years, the brand has grown a loyal following of those seeking preowned pieces reminiscent of 90s runways. This Jil Sander bandeau dress and blazer immediately grabbed my attention.
Curate & Rotate is the answer to a minimalist dresser’s prayers, with founder Melanie on a constant pilgrimage to source both second-hand and sample pieces that align with her refined aesthetic. Working directly with local seamstresses to breathe new life into vintage items, the brand is on a mission to make every piece feel like new, no matter how old. This cream wool blazer is signature C&R.
Imagine thousands of discounted designer items at your fingertips – well, Sign of The Times make it a reality. With a massive online collection of preloved luxury goods, this reseller is making a big name in the second-hand space. From Gucci to Chanel, you can make huge savings on investment goods, including many new season pieces. These Balenciaga pumps are such a unique find and over half-price off RRP.
Founded by friends Vic and Hannah, fashion resale business The Coedit serves as the passion project for contemporary shoppers striving to do better. With a combination of vintage designer and premium high-street pieces on offer, this brand is the perfect introduction for newbie second-hand shoppers wishing to feel seen and represented in their eco-efforts. This vintage knitted waistcoat would be an ideal addition to an upcoming autumn wardrobe.
Another destination for lovers of designer, Relxue proclaims to give their shoppers access to the wardrobes of the most stylish women in the world. At the heart of their mission, is a dedication to slow down consumer consumption habits and a promotion of investment shopping for pieces that will last a lifetime. Reluxe’s online store boats a wealth of unique premium items, including these Simone Rocha earrings.
Rites is not only a blossoming fashion rental business but also hosts a resale shop. Within its pages, you can find a mixture of premium brands and contemporary, independent labels, like this timeless midi dress from Rixo, all for a discount price and many faring as good as new.
Based in London and selling luxury vintage accessories across the world, Open For Vintage is a reseller with a keen eye on sustainability. All deliveries and returns are carried out carbon-neutrally and items are sourced from independent boutiques to support local communities. If I was going to treat myself, I would pick up this Loewe handbag.
When taking your next trip down the seaside, don’t miss out on stopping by this second-hand boutique along Brighton’s seafront. Nestled away, this store has a diverse range of preloved goodies to discover, as well as a bustling online storefront. These Sezane jeans are currently listed for a bargain.
The Scandi-cool-girl seller that’s even caught the attention of Hailey Bieber, Worn Vintage is the brand to turn to when adding a little edge to your daily style. They boast a unique selection of leather and biker-style jackets and blazers, covering a range of price points. This one in particular caught my eye.
Sellier
If you’re seeking a specialist when looking to invest in pre-owned designer bags and accessories, then Sellier should be your go-to. Supported by a team of authentication experts, this brand gives you peace of mind when investing at premium prices. From Birkins to Boy Bags, their online store hosts all the icons – I fell in love with this Bottega Veneta pouch.
