Happy Sunday friends,
Hope you’re well and have had a lovely weekend. As always, I want to hear in the comments down below what you’ve been up to. I’ve had a very busy week, so a much needed chilled weekend in return. This week I started my new job and have been prepping for moving house this coming Friday. I forgot how stressful it is to move and work full-time again. This weekend I’ve been enjoying the sunshine, running, packing some boxes, and getting a takeaway.
For this week’s blog post, I wanted to focus on some of the amazing places you can get secondhand designer bags and other items. Shopping secondhand is a great way to not only save a little cash but also be a bit more environmentally friendly. Plus, who doesn’t love a great deal on a luxury item that will last you a lifetime? Check out some places and websites below that I think are great resources for finding pre-loved luxury fashion.
Vestiaire Collective
Vestiaire Collective is an amazing resource when it comes to buying luxury items at a much more affordable price. Vestiaire verifies all designer pieces on their site, so you don’t have to worry about authenticity.
Depop
Depop is another great platform for secondhand items for every brand including designer items. With Depop, the only issue is you have to become your own authenticator. I recommend studying the markers for the authentic luxury item you’re planning on purchasing from Depop.
Designer Exchange
If you’re in the UK and feel more comfortable making your purchases in person, Designer Exchange is the one for you. They have stores in London, Manchester, and Birmingham. With Designer Exchange, you can even take in one of your unloved designer items to exchange for cash off the new one you have your eye one.
Cocoon Refresh
Cocoon Refresh is a new one on my radar, but I think it sounds like another great way to resell and buy designer bags. Similarly to Designer Exchange (but online), you can sell or exchange your own designer items for cash off your next purchase.
Thank you so much for reading this week’s blog post. If you find yourself thinking of investing in a luxury item, try one of these to save yourself some time and money. Look out for a new blog post next week as well! I’ll be on holiday in Cornwall, but I’ll be keeping the content coming. Check out my Instagram for some upcoming seaside content as well! Have an amazing week guys!
