A tidy space is important for a tidy mind and we definitely need all the clarity we can get right now. Check out these tried and tested selling platforms to make some space in your wardrobe and in your brain.
During lockdown number one we tried to tidy up our wardrobe, then they freed us for the summer and we couldn’t resist a few new additions to our collection since getting dressed seemed like such a treat; then the second lockdown happened and turned out you can’t Marie Kondo while buying new things and expect your wardrobe to look neat. Sadly, we are now in lockdown number three and, before the good intentions are behind us, we should take a good look at our clothes and prepare ourself to part with the excess.
Although we advocate for a minimalist wardrobe – only filled we clothes that are perfect for you – the last thing we would suggest is sending clothes to landfill. There are many things that can be done with unwanted clothes to avoid them ending up in the bin. If you can’t reuse, gift or recycle them, give one of these tried and tested selling platforms a try and make some money while freeing some space in your home.
Depop
Probably the most famous and used platform out there to sell clothes, Depop is a game-changer if you want to get rid of some of your clothes fast. It’s definitely the easiest to use thanks to the super functional and intuitive app. Due to its popularity, Depop is also the place where clothes seem to sell the fastest.

ebay
A classic destination to sell anything from electronics to clothes, ebay is still a good option if you are struggling to sell some pieces. It’s definitely not the easiest to use and they don’t have the smoother or clearer service but it’s worth a try if you are on a mission to sell as much as you can, as fast as you can.

Vinted
Another great app to buy and sell pre-loved items, Vinted is definitely one to download if you are clearing up your wardrobe. The app is not as nice to use as Depop’s app but it’s easy enough and it can definitely help you selling your extra clothes and accessories.
