28 Online Thrift Shops for the Best Vintage & Secondhand Clothing

Last Updated on February 22, 2021 by haveclotheswilltravel

Visiting physical secondhand and thrift shops is not something I especially enjoy. I simply don’t have the patience to sift through endless racks and bins and hope to find a garment I like in my size. It always feels like some sort of contest I never seem to win. Thankfully, there are tons of online thrift shops out there these days!

With online second stores, you simply sort by your size and clothing item and BAM! Tons of options to choose from without ever leaving your house.

Plus, online thrift stores are great not only because you will save money in comparison to buying an item new… it’s far better for the environment if we are reusing clothing and buying secondhand. (And as I mentioned in my list of favorite sustainable online clothing stores – that is something I making an effort to be more aware of now.)

This list begins with the best online secondhand stores for higher-end and designer items and ends with sites that are wonderfully budget-friendly. The last one on this list is my absolute favorite online thrift store too! If I missed any of your favorite shops, please let me know in the comments at the end of the post.

They make it really easy to also sell your designer duds on their site too. It takes less than a minute to upload an item you’re wanting to sell. (Click here for more info on how to sell on Vestiaire Collective.)

2.) Luxury Garage Sale

Luxury Garage Sale is similar to Vestiaire Collective – they have an incredible selection of used designer clothing and accessories for both men and women. They also offer personal styling services – which I think is awesome. You fill out an easy questionnaire, and they’ll match you with a stylist in your area.

14.) eBay

You can’t make a list of online thrift stores and not include eBay! eBay is what I have been using for years to buy all kinds of secondhand pieces. (I’ve gotten my share of handbags from eBay over the last decade.) They’ve been the staple when it comes to secondhand fashion online. 

• Click here to shop eBay.

15.) The Closet Trading Co.

The Closet Trading Co. specializes in current and on-trend styles from designer and premium labels. And while they do have their share of Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and other designer labels… they have plenty of affordable merchandise as well, with a great selection of their clothing being less than $100. Even for their designer pieces, I think their prices are more than fair!

• Click here to shop The Closet Trading Co.
  

16.) ASOS Marketplace

Many shoppers are likely familiar with the wide variety of fashion ASOS offers… but did you know they also have an awesome online marketplace dedicated to vintage boutiques? It’s an awesome selection! They feature small boutiques from around the world.

17.) Tradesy

20.) Patagonia Worn Wear

I am really excited about this one! Patagonia Worn Wear is a site that features used Patagonia hiking clothing. While the majority of online shops on this list cater to fashion clothing and not activewear – Patagonia Worn Wear is here for us hikers who would rather not buy our clothing new. I love it!

• Click here to shop Patagonia Worn Wear. 
• Click here to shop the jacket above.

21.) Thrifted 

Thrifted sells only the best 80s and 90s brands and styles. They pride themselves on being a place to shop for standout festival clothing and carry brands like Nike and Champion but also have high-end designers such as Versace and Fendi.

22.) Beyond Retro

Beyond Retro is similar to Thrifted and carries vintage clothing from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. They also have a great sportswear collection.

The Vintage Twin is owned by two twin sisters – Morgan & Samantha Elias. They hand-pick and rework the most badass, relevant and clean collection of vintage on earth! (Little did I know, but vintage Harley Davidson tees are really having a moment right now.)

24.) The Break

The Break features a beautiful collection of vintage clothing and accessories as well as incredible homeware goods.

• Click here to shop Depop. 

 26.) Vinted 

Vinted is also a peer-to-peer selling app that lets you easily buy and sell secondhand clothing and accessories. I like both buying and selling on Vinted.

• Click here to shop Vinted.
• Click here to shop the dress above. 

27.) Poshmark

Poshmark is one of my absolute favorite peer-to-peer selling apps for selling my used clothing. I use Depop and Vinted to also sell clothing – but neither of these apps compares to how quickly clothing moves on Poshmark (for me at least). They have a lot of great features for sellers – such as hosting sales and offering private discounts to people. It helps to get more sales, in my opinion. They also have an amazing selection of inventory from all over the US – it’s awesome!

My first dress from thredUP.

 28.) thredUP

My absolute favorite online secondhand store, though, is undoubtedly thredUP. I have had the best luck over the years buying used clothing and accessories that fit my personal style from thredUP.

Their cleanout option is awesome too if you’re looking to get rid of your clothes in bulk. They send you a big shipping bag you load with your clothing and send to them. They then go through and tell you what each thing is worth and pay you. And if they can’t list it on the site, they’ll donate it to a local charity. 

• Click here to shop thredUP.
