Anyone who thinks this is easy is kidding themselves. Styling, photography, editing, measuring, uploading, all takes time and effort. For my etsy shop I had to buy professional studio lights because in the winter in the UK home lighting is not enough. Pressing, packing, sorting out delivery all take time too. I'm planning to start a physical vintage store and would welcome Depop resellers. Doesn't matter to me if what I'm selling goes to the end user or another middleman.

This was great, I been tryin to find out about "what is the best product to resell?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ponichael Bewildering Preeminence - (should be on google have a look )? It is a great one off guide for finding genuine wholesale designer goods minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

@@myfrugalraggylife7104 there are levels to it. What she’s doing is very time consuming compared to people that just buy items and sell them as is. Some people don’t even clean the clothes. Selling secondhand isn’t like having a regular retail store where you have a few skus that you have to market and promote. You have to treat each item as it’s own sku for the most part and that’s in addition to finding and shipping the items. Some people just buy a bunch of stuff and sell it as is for the best price they can get for it

Hang on, comments about her being immoral for buying and reselling at higher prices? The charity shop puts it up for sale with a price they are happy with. She buys, in bulk, adding money into the charity. She then sells it. Is the charity affected? No. Whether a normal person looking to wear it bought it and didn’t resell it, the charity gets the same amount. Makes no difference. Best part is, those making negative comments probably don’t even buy from charity shops so are not supporting charity at all but have the audacity to point the finger. If she purchased her items from China, you’d say it’s unsustainable and made in a sweatshop. If she bought it from EU, you’d say she’s probably paying slave labour fees. She buys it in person, on foot, from a charity. Arguably one of the most kind and ethical ways of running a clothing business and I’m still seeing slating comments. Absolutely unreal. Congrats to her, keep doing your thing and all the best in future.

But resellers buying clothes mean that those clothes are now unaffordable for poor people. So it takes the joy of finding really beautiful, special items away from people who can't afford them otherwise. To me that feels like just another way that poor people miss out on opportunities reserved for those that already have enough. I mend my clothes and possessions over and over because I can't afford to replace them. The two designer bags I found for $4 each gave me such joy and have me back a little bit of dignity.

@@Jessicaro yeah in Europe it's different.. So many secondhand store, so much clothing and so many good things in excellent condition.. One thing poor people here (especially where I live) aren't lacking is decent clothing. Even sometimes I'm not sure if the person is homeless untill I see them scratch in a bin.. They don't have rags on, only the drunks, druggies and mentally ill ones I've seen and that's a rare sight.. Eg. Last year I probably saw maybe 5 different people, max. who looked raggedy and were clearly not just homeless/poor......

Many on here have negative comments all jealous I’m sure. She not only works extremely hard, she has a great eye for style and a natural flair for fashion. She repairs clothes by hand and also converts garments using her sewing machine. These all take time and skill.she is not depriving “poor” people from the clothes they can do the same as she is doing but truth is many couldn’t be bothered to put the hard work and hours in and doubt they would have her skills either. Anyone can buy cheap from charity shops, boot sales and many other places now. Good luck to her and she has great energy and passion for what she is doing

Ok you museum archival folks, a major textile problem. I have a 1930s-40s, red, Japanese kimono I had hanging because I love looking at it but unknown to me was a freshly placed glue trap to catch mice. Hold on.......my beautiful kimono somehow “fell” (my husband admits to nothing and hates my kimono collection) and some of the hem plopped into the thick glue trap and now has thick, sticky glue on it. I delicately removed the trap from the kimono but it still has thick glue that needs to be removed. I live in the D.C. area and was thinking to call someone at the Smithsonian but I don’t know whom to ask or where to start. Any suggestions?

She puts an effort into sourcing items, handpicking them, prepping, styling, marketing and getting them delivered to your door. She makes honest living and should get extra praise for making her business about recycling. If you’re willing to put an effort and time in - then fair enough, you can get those items yourself, directly from a charity shop for lesser price. Also, if you’ve got time in your hands you could just search Chinese websites (even AliExpress) and buy directly from them for peanuts, rather than paying much more for the same items bought from ASOS, NewLook etc. She is doing all the hard work for you though and that’s the price you pay for shopping from the comforts of your own home.

Well the purpose of charity shops is to raise money from donated clothing. As far as I'm aware, the majority of kilo stores are privately owned business. A lot of people don't have the time/don't want to burrow through a bunch of junk at charity shops or kilo sale, but instead would prefer visiting a shop where all the pieces are hand picked and a certain quality - just food for thought.

If you'll look into the ethics of thrifting/charity shopping you'll realise this actually helps. Lots of these clothes are things most ordinary shoppers would pass by, and by reworking them she's creating a new vision someone may not have thought of. Charity shops are overrun and anything that isn't sold here in the UK is then shipped abroad to other, often poorer, European countries, increasing their carbon footprint. Also, in an age where lots of people turn to online shopping (even pre-pandemic), resellers are helping some of these charity shops (especially smaller ones) stay in business.

So we're gentrifying a commodity to a point at which the intended consumer can't afford it? Quelle surprise. I used to justify a mark-up on quality barely-vintage clothing, on the basis that the market was more niche, but ransacking charity shops strikes me as immoral.

@@timkaercher2459 That's hardly a question. Are there not people who rely on charity shops to afford clothing? There's a lot stopping those people from capitalising on cheap clothes - the cost of postage stamps adds up over time, and not everyone has means to access the internet. Or, you know, a home full-stop. Now, I'm not stupid enough to think people who buy to sell on do so by emptying clothes racks in one fell swoop, but the bottom line is that one person's business venture shouldn't deprive someone else of the basic necessities. (Let's not make a start on wider society - no-one has the time or energy for that.)

@@isotopiary That's more or less what I tried to make clear at the end of my last comment. Casting my mind back, I wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders, but I was clearly pissed off. It's now 2:30am, so I guess it's time for round 2... I don't know how it slipped my mind, but fast fashion is an absolute fucking shitshow, and while you're right that people living on low incomes have access to it, it's maddening that the clothes they can afford are made by people who quite possibly earn less than they do, and in a way that sees them tarnishing and falling apart after a few washes. I had a point, and I think I stuck to it. I don't understand why I only ever browse KZbin when I'm capital K knackered.

@@brianlamont2482 lol, the customers know what she's doing. They buy from her cuz they want to. No one is forcing them. Anyone who byways from depop (like me) know she got them froma thrift store. When you buy from a depop seller your not only buying the item, your paying for the fact that she found clothes for you so you didn't have to go there yourself. Stop acting like she's scamming people. She's not. People have been reselling for years.

People have been doing it for years. 20 years ago, my friend would go to charity shops and pick out designer items to sell on consignment (pre internet selling). She made enough to pay recent every month. Nothing new. The only new thing is the internet giving you a wider audience

Nothing about it is sketchy. It’s how retail works. When you go to Tesco or Argos what do you think happens? They buy bulk from wholesalers and manufacturers, put their markup on it and resell to you. She puts an effort into sourcing items, handpicking them, prepping, styling, marketing and getting them delivered to your door. She makes honest living and should get extra praise for making her business about recycling.

Me too it angers me..!! All my life I gave away even designers clothes(though I kept the pre 1980's ones) because I have seen poor people I lived in 2 countries before moved and the clothes had to go, most had to go .... It is the Internet that immoral causing people to do immoral things like that-like, I KNOW poor people who think twice before they buy a t-shirt. My frend in Sri Lanka save in jar enough money to buy stamps so she can writer me one letter a month. How can I not give people in her state my former clothes?!.. I don't know poor people directly, but I LOVE 5,6 times a year to throw sacks into the Salvation Army container..Hoping it goes to poor people and not to those selling on Etsy or hell knows where else, so the poor never gets it..

Her prices are her prices and who are you to say otherwise. For one she searches for the item, storages, cleans, and fix it up and ship to people who are looking for certain items. Therefore, you’re paying for her having a good eye and her time. What do you prefer for the clothing to sit at these stores, or end up in the trash? Most poor people don’t even shop at the resale stores, but the proceeds these stores bring in from sales do benefit low income families. You people complain and criticize everything. She enjoys what she does, and it’s call abundance and prosperity. She’s putting in her own money to help fund these stores, which helps them to remain open, and that’s why she is prosperous with making making sales. You don’t get how this works.
