About Vinted
Vinted is a website and app that allows its users to make money by selling their clothing and also shop other peoples wardrobes!
In 2008, Milda was moving home and had too many clothes to take with her. Justas offered to help her build a website so that her friends could shop her wardrobe. However, they quickly found that the media wanted in too and that's when Vinted was born.
Since then Vinted has grown a lot and now has a community of over 45million users!
The company's offices are based in Vilnius, Berlin, Prague, and Utrecht which helps them operate in 15 markets around the world including; Spain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, the UK, Italy, Portugal, the USA, and Canada.
The app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Features
On the app you can sell and buy clothing, toys and homeware.
You can shop by brand, colour, size, condition, category and price making it super easy to find what you're looking for.
There is an option to 'send an offer' so you'll often find that you can get a total bargain if the seller is happy to accept.
You are also able to customise your feed to follow the brands and users that you love so that when something new is listed you get to see it first!

My Experience
I've been using Vinted for just over a year now and absolutely love the app and site! I've found some amazing pieces that are true staples in my wardrobe and at this point have probably bought well over 100 items since creating my account.
If you follow my main Instagram account @skvngrlexi you'll be able to find lots of sustainable fashion looks that often are found on Vinted!
I've only had one or two instances where something has been incorrectly listed or gotten lost in the post and the Vinted customer service team are always so friendly and helpful at sorting it out. If something does get lost in the post Vinted actually reimburse both the seller and buyer so it's pretty risk free app.
I cannot recommend Vinted enough and definitely encourage you to try it out!
