When it comes to shopping vintage, in-person seems to be the default for many. Being able to touch, feel, and try on a piece before buying is definitely a perk, especially when shopping pre-loved. That being said, by limiting yourself to the vintage in your immediate area, whether that be at thrift stores or curated shops, you’re missing out on a whole world of treasures waiting to be found!
From one-of-a-kind frocks to secondhand designer pieces, you can find your next grail right at your fingertips if you know where to look. While there are endless places to shop vintage fashion online, these are where we’ve had the most luck. —Bailey Grant
The RealReal
If you’re interested in high-end and designer labels, The RealReal is the place to browse. The site has seemingly endless listings of designer items, ranging in wear, age, and rarity. The company guarantees authenticity on all of its items, and the condition of each product is described, ranging from ‘as is’ to ‘pristine.’
Depop
Depop is great for shopping the latest vintage trends. Want to find a pair of perfectly worn-in cargo pants? Depop. How about a new-to-you 90s shoulder bag? Also, Depop. You get the point – the cool kids shop on Depop.
eBay
It may take a little extra searching, but eBay seriously has some of the best vintage on the market. Various vintage shops and collectors alike use the platform to list their stock, so you never know what you may find while exploring. Just be sure to pay attention to reviews and, in terms of designer, opt to shop from top sellers and/or see if the item is eligible for eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee.
Vestiaire Collective
Consider Vestiaire Collective your hub for all things pre-loved designer. The site has over 5 million live listings from more than 12,000 brands, so it’s safe to say there is no shortage of options to shop. Although it’s not solely vintage, there are plenty of perfectly old items waiting for their second (or third) life.
Poshmark
Being a peer-to-peer marketplace, Poshmark carries an array of different items across every brand you can think of. Don’t blame us if you happen to find yourself scrolling for hours! Poshmark is especially great for finding items from past collections that you otherwise would probably never come across.
thredUP
While you can find any pre-loved fashion on thredUP, not just vintage, you may be surprised by what you come across! Plus, this online consignment shop is known for having grails at great price points.
Whatnot
Still somewhat of a well-known secret, Whatnot is an app where people sell items via livestream! It’s a super unique approach to online shopping, where viewers can bid, interact, or simply just watch the seller’s live videos. There always seems to be a live show happening, many with a sole focus on vintage (collectibles, clothing, and more).
