Why Shopping Secondhand Designer Is the Move This Holiday Season

We've made strides within the industry and the larger world around dismantling misconceptions about secondhand

clothing, but what do you think still needs to be done to shift the way we consume around the holiday season? 

During the holiday season (especially starting with Black Friday), buying secondhand should be favored. We’re proud to have our community lead the change toward buying secondhand; it’s better for the planet, and that’s the best gift money can buy. We always have and will continue to advocate buying better, being conscious, and providing sustainable solutions for the year known for abundant shopping. 

What would you say are some of the benefits of shopping secondhand this holiday season?

Although some might argue price, we believe the most significant benefit and unique attribute of shopping secondhand is the choice. Vestiaire Collective has a richness of a worldwide fashion closet, so much variety, and something for every budget. It’s also wonderful to give a unique find with a special backstory. Some rare pieces may no longer exist, or you may not be able to find them in firsthand shopping.
