Vinted. An app I downloaded over a year ago, afforded a cursory glance to and then promptly forgot about. After all, I had a plethora of ways to purchase second hand clothing without needing to think about buying on Vinted. With charity shops closed during lockdown and my postnatal wardrobe seriously lacking, I found myself turning to online marketplaces for second hand clothes once again. EBay, Depop, Vinted, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Groups, Instagram: you name it, I searched them all but I kept returning to buying on Vinted. Its upfront pricing, opportunity to negotiate price and bundle discounts meant it was affordable, sustainable and best of all, quick and easy. No more waiting for auctions to end, no more being outbid in the final few seconds and no more commenting, ‘Hopelessly inline’… fingers crossed emoji.
