First off, you see that “DKNY Vintage” thing on there? Exclusively on Depop, curated by 194 New York? Sounds fancy, right? Pre-loved condition, no offers accepted. Hmmph. Kind of takes the fun out of thrifting, doesn’t it? Like, part of the *charm* is haggling a little, you know? But whatever, I guess. Highsnobiety’s involved, so it’s gotta be kinda legit.
Then there’s the official Depop spiel. “Explore your style!” “Buy clothing from a diverse community!” Okay, yeah, it’s true. There *is* a ton of different stuff on there. You can find, like, legit vintage, and then you can find some… questionable… homemade stuff. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? Sifting through the, uh, let’s call it “creativity.” And that “discover unique fashion” line? They’re not wrong. I’ve seen some *wild* things on Depop.
And then they hit you with the “secondhand, vintage, streetwear, designer clothing” thing. Okay, Depop, we get it. You’re trying to be everything to everyone. But honestly? That’s kinda what makes it cool. You could be looking for a vintage Chanel bag, or you could be looking for some… let’s just say “alternative” streetwear. It’s all there. Plus, they got news and tips from the community. Which, sometimes, is just people complaining about shipping costs, but you know. Gotta take the good with the bad.
Oh! And this is a big one – the 10% selling fee thing in the US? Gone! That’s kinda huge, right? Means more money for the sellers. Smart move, Depop. Smart move. Makes you wanna, like, *actually* clean out your closet and sell some stuff, doesn’t it? I keep *meaning* to…
And the “Men’s Coats & Jackets” bit? Register your phone number. Ugh. The bane of my existence. Why do they need my phone number for *everything* these days? It’s annoying. But hey, they gotta track you somehow, right? Plus, the “skip to main content” thing is just good website design. I appreciate that.
