Winter Refresh with Vestiaire Collective
It’s no secret that I’m super passionate about sustainability, especially when it comes to fashion. So I was beyond excited when I discovered Vestiaire Collective earlier this year. They have become my new favorite destination for amazing secondhand pieces.
Vestiaire Collective has the most insane selection of vintage and secondhand designer and luxury items from around the world. Being able to shop all of my favorite designers on a secondhand platform with amazing deals is definitely a win win win. :) With COVID, it has become easier and easier to shop online and more and more difficult to shop secondhand at local vintage or thrift stores. I love that Vestiaire combines those two worlds – you can shop safely from the comfort of your own home while still choosing secondhand items and supporting a circular fashion cycle.
My first find was this amazing, vintage Gucci handbag. I love vintage items because they’re so unique! It truly feels like you’re the only one who has that special piece. I have to add – this is my first ever designer handbag, aaand I might have cried a little when I opened it. Dramatic much? Maybe. But I have dreamt of owning a designer bag since I was little. And to be honest, I didn’t think I ever would. Needless to say, it was a special moment. 🖤
Next up, this incredible houndstooth sweater vest. The sweater vest has been popping up in trend reports since the end of summer, and most of the ones I have seen were being sold by fast fashion brands. I didn’t want to compromise on sustainability just to feel relevant or trendy. So I was beyond excited to find this vintage guy on Vestiaire! It was crazy affordable, and the best part is that it was secondhand! So if I’m ever ready to retire it from my closet, I can sell it on Vestiaire again and send it back into the circular fashion cycle.
