As sustainable fashion is on the rise, sites like Depop and Vinted where users can sell and buy second hand or handmade clothes and jewellery, are becoming increasingly popular. Whilst Depop is packed with unique gems, there is also a lot of overpriced poor quality garments listed. These sellers are a great starting point if you want to curate a feed full of funky fits.
1. yayboutique
If you are looking for a unique and funky knitted jumper for an affordable price; this is the place to be. Yayboutique post everyday, with free postage available on bundles. Whilst most of their feed is colourful knit wear, they also have some stylish co ord sets and graphic tees. I bought a rather jazzy oversized purple and turquoise knitted coogi jumper from them last year for just £18. The item is great quality, arrived quickly, and similar garments seem to be priced around the £60 mark on other accounts.
2. festivalpants
For colourful, eye-catching, harem style pants, perfect for a festival, this account is abundant. Though these loose fitting pants are often associated with pretentious gap year students; these ones have an array of unique patterns and are super comfortable. Though it took me a while and several friends to figure out how exactly to tie the pants up, I love the lilac wrap around trousers I bought from here and they were only £15. The trousers are light, and flow almost like a maxi skirt.
3. Cathxzjewellry
This is my go to place for buying personalised gifts for my friends. From bright figurine earrings of various popular characters, to elegant charm earrings, this jewellery is excellent quality. I bought some serotonin molecule earrings here for my friend who studies Biology, and ended up ordering another pair for myself by the end of the week.
4. Moonlightcharmz
Moonlightcharmz is another commendable earring seller on Depop. They make intricate attention grabbing earrings using gemstones, crystals and charms, perfect for that one friend who is obsessed with horoscopes and star signs. Occasionally they also sell second hand books and vintage clothes, including sweater vests, blouses, and this one amazing pair of knee high boots which I wish I bought.
5. Fairysclosetnl
From Taylor Swift to Friends, this seller creates sets of stickers, depicting various shows, music and popular culture. They are great quality and perfect for decorating your laptop, phone case, water bottle, notebooks or whatever else you fancy sprucing up. After choosing a themed set, it is a surprise which selection of stickers you get, though you can make requests if you spot a couple you really like.
6. Personal Accounts
If you are eager to find some bargains on Depop, sifting through personal accounts where people post their old clothes, rather than business accounts where sellers often thrift clothes for cheap and then sell them for a profit, is the best strategy. Depop has an excellent feature where it recommends you similar items to the one you have clicked on. If I find something I like but it is too expensive, I often use this feature to find a cheaper alternative, usually on a smaller personal account.
