Vintage clothing: How to give old clothes new life

shopping Queen

From old to new!
This is how you give vintage clothing a second life

Vintage is back! And the hype also has a great side effect at the same time: it protects the environment. If we pay a little attention to forgotten items from the basement or shirts from grandma and grandpa’s wardrobe, then we avoid buying fast fashion. This prevents the support of unfair working conditions and climate-damaging production chains.

On to the online flea market

Nowadays there are several providers of second-hand apps. At Vinted, in addition to clothing, you can now also buy second-hand furniture and pet supplies. The trend to buy vintage fashion is still very much in vogue and you will notice that pretty quickly when browsing through the app. From skirts, sweaters, shoes or accessories, everything is there that the vintage heart desires, so that you are spoiled for choice when it comes to making a decision.

The nice thing: on portals of this kind, the prices are often kept so low that you can shop for several items without a guilty conscience. If you find several favored parts on the profile of a:a provider:in, then you can often save even more money by being able to put together a package. It’s worth browsing!

Second hand at large corporations

Not everyone: everyone knows it, but the big corporations also offer comparable sites. For example, H&M has an online section that sells used clothing. Among the Pre-Loved Presell, former favorites are given a second chance. Not only fashion items from the H&M range are offered, but also clothing from other fashion houses. A great way to put together your second-hand look – even if you’re looking for a certain piece of clothing you already know from one of the fashion houses, for example.

Sell ​​your clothes – with almost no effort

But other websites also offer you the opportunity to sell your old clothes or to look for new treasures. If you want to make money with clothes, it’s easy with Sellpy, for example. You send your clothes there and the employees take care of photographing and describing the items. You always have the opportunity to adjust the suggested prices according to your wishes. You will then be paid 40 percent – or 70 percent of the sales revenue if it is over 50 euros. A fee of only 1 euro is charged for each item placed. And there, too, real treasures await you. From coats to sunglasses, you can also find a lot at Sellpy.

(Ver)shopping experience you can touch

Probably the best way to start looking for second-hand items is still in real life. Strolling through the local flea market on a Sunday and browsing the vintage clothing there is always a great idea. And the best part: You see the clothes and their condition directly and you can even try them on. This prevents bad purchases and the joy of your new items is inevitable.

So what are you waiting for, grab your cell phone and check out the second-hand portals or head straight to the nearest flea or flea market. It will be worth it.
