Best designer resale sites for online vintage shopping

By Poppy Cory-Wright on 30/7/2019

With tastemakers like Chloë Sevigny and Alexa Chung openly declaring their love of the old, and fast-fashion wreaking havoc on our planet, buying 'pre-loved' has never been so appealing.

And with these designer resale sites, where second hand wares can get a new lease of life and love, buying and selling pre-owned pieces is a luxurious endeavour.

Vestiaire Collective

Vestiaire Collective

Parisian company Vestiaire Collective is perhaps the most well known of all online designer marketplaces, and a seasoned cornerstone in the ever-expanding industry of online vintage.


Its unbreakable promise of high-quality, authentic pieces (sourced worldwide) has placed the site at the forefront of industry, and the rich variety of its market place ensures there's something to suit all tastes. Sweet, unadulterated luxury from a respected old timer.

High Society

High Society

With a powerful troupe of best-selling brands – think Mulberry, Hermes, Christian Louboutin and Chanel – London-based High Society is well versed in the movement of the most sought-after premium brands. In times past, the site has teamed up with celebrities like Sienna Miller and Nigella Lawson, using their donated pieces to raise money for a variety of charities.


Those wanting to sell their pre-loved pieces must complete an online form, shortly after which a team member will get in touch with a selling price estimation.

Edit Second Hand

Edit Second Hand

Edit Second Hand is perhaps the only resale site to purchase designer pieces directly from the seller, which ensures that online stock is a curated collection of strictly current and high-quality items, as well as making things easy for the selling individual.


Stocking everything from Isabel Marant to Iro, the website's other plus is that it offers returns and refunds if the buyer is not satisfied -– a rare trait in the online-vintage game.

HEWI London

HEWI London

HEWI (which stands for 'Hardly Ever Worn It') operates under a similar model to websites like eBay, in that customers can keep watch over items, follow sellers they particularly like, and choose whether to buy the piece immediately or make offers instead.


With both rare and current menswear, womenswear and kidswear on offer at hefty discounts, HEWI is worth a visit if you're looking to buy online.

Rebelle

Rebelle

Rebelle, like all the websites listed in this roundup, features only the most high-quality of stock.


With 80,000 average monthly users, the Hamburg-based business is a win for both buyer and seller. What's more? Delivery is guarunteed within 48 hours.

Rewind Vintage

Rewind Vintage

Collector Square

Collector Square

Launched by a digital entrepreneur and the founder of Parisian auction house Artcurial, Collector Square is an internationally admired marketplace for the sale of pre-owned luxury in all its guises.


The showroom might be in Paris but the audience is wholly international, with brands like Cartier, Hermes, and Rolex being particular favourites of Collector Square buyers.
