The best online thrifting stores
Prefer vintage? Love designer? If you have a distinct style – or if you simply prefer new clothes! – you may assume that thrifting couldn’t possibly be for you. But thanks to 5 of the best online thrifting stores, secondhand shopping makes thrifting for unique styles, shapes, and price ranges accessible for all of us.
Corporations have fed us the false truth that new is best. Capitalist societies flourish when consumers constantly buy, but purchasing new goods leaves little space for older but perfectly fine garments to thrive.
The good news? Thrifting is recycling, and it is a powerful way to acquire needed items without all the problems associated with overconsumption. The internet empowers us to spice up our closets with new-to-us items from the comfort of our own couches and for a fraction of the price of buying new. And thanks to the best online thrifting sites’ advanced search parameters, we can find the exact item we are looking for in our desired color, size, and brand.
On this week’s show I divulge where to find the best online stores for thrifting, how to score items that are new with tags, and why thrifting never equates to sacrifice. You’ll walk away from today’s episode with new tools to up your existing thrifting game, too.
