The 10 Best Online Vintage Shopping Sites
The fashion industry is one of the world's top pollutants. Every year consumption and industry waste increases but consumers are smartening up. In fact, so are designers. If you were tuned into the Spring Summer 2020 runway trends you would notice clothes coming straight down the runway looked… dare I say, vintage. Marc Jacobs, Prada, Celine, Gucci and Miu Miu all dipped into the archives and mixed in pieces with a '70s vintage shop flamboyance. Here at W, we felt that many of the looks we loved were clothes we already owned. Here you will find a list of our go-to reselling sites that are changing the way we shop.
