Gone are the days when we had to find the closest outlet mall or save up enough to splurge at duty free, on our designer favourites. Thanks to social media and its algorithms, we come across some of these places without searching hard for it and the greats news is, there is more to be discovered. Investing in timeless pieces means research in getting the best price possible. Here are a 8 places to check out when making your next fashion investment;
Yoox carries a few high street designers like Topshop, Adidas and Vero moda but prides itself in carrying designer brands at affordable reduced pricing for both women and men. From Bottega Veneta to Celine to Jaquemus to Off-white, Versace, Roberto Cavalli and more, you will find mark downs as high as 75%. Now who wouldn’t jump on such a bargain?
One more thing, not only will you find fashion pieces, you can also pick up some art and design pieces for decor.
At The real real, you can buy as well as sell designer items. They identify as the world’s largest and most trusted resource for authenticated luxury resale. Mark downs here are as high as 70%. you’ll find designers such as Tiffany & Co, Chanel, Cartier, Telfar and Tom Ford. Items they carry include, but not limited to clothing, accessories, art, furniture, table top and kitchen ware, decor and many more.
Net-a-porter operates in the same group as Yoox. It caters to women while its menswear section can be found on MR PORTER. They carry clothing, accessories, beauty products and lingerie. The style on clothing here is more trendy and colorful plus they recently launched a resale opportunity, so you are also able to sell your designer items to them, just like The real real. You will also find most of your favorite designers here including Olivia Von Halle, Skims, Loewe and Alaïa.
The finest edit in luxury fashion as they say, My Theresa offers clothing, accessories and beauty products. Carrying over 200 designers, some of them include, The Attico, Balmain, Zimmerman and The Row. The price point at My Theresa is higher than the aforementioned but the mark down in the sale section goes as high as 60%. I believe this is within reason as they have in-season items that are new.
Farfetch also carries a pre-owned line as well as new-in items. They cater to women, men, kids and homeware. Ultimately, they carry a plethora of designers too including Yeezy Gap, Hermès, Balmain and Christopher Esber. Price point is reasonable. Mark downs here go as high as 90%. What a bargain!
With shop, sell, repeat as their slogan, Fashionphile is one place you are able to purchase an item, pay in installments and have the item shipped to you once it is fully paid for at 0% interest. This is something I love about them. There is however a 10% cancellation fee if you are unable to complete the full payment within 60 days. They carry bags, accessories, jewellery and watches. As this website has pre-loved items, your choice for designers is abundant. Remember when we had to get on the waitlist for a Birkin, you don’t have to anymore because Fashionphile may just have it.
Moda operandi aims to empower style through exceptional design and this is apparent with everything they carry. It it more than just a dress or a pair of shoes or a bag. The designers that are carried here have an extra flare to their designs. They include Brandon Maxwell, Mach Mach, Cult Gaia, Staud, Carolina Herrera and Khaite. Their mark downs is as high as 80%. They also carry a home line.
On their website, Vestaire collective describe themselves as “dedicated to transforming the fashion industry for a more sustainable future by promoting the circular fashion movement as an alternative to overproduction and overconsumption and the wasteful practices of the fashion industry”. Now this is something we can all get behind. They cater to women, men and children with their pre-loved items and carry many of the same brands as their competitors including Simon Miller, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood.
Enjoying shopping... but come back and tell us about your experience.
