When I’m not buying from sustainable or ethical brands, I tend to thrift shop online and try and search for great vintage finds. A lot of the reasons why people don’t want to shop from sustainable and ethical brands is because they are too expensive. I get it. When I first started shopping that way, I was used to H&M and Forever 21 prices (which was dirt cheap). Sustainable and ethical brands pricing can seem overwhelming and hard to swallow. However, buying secondhand is another great option to shop environmentally conscious with reasonable prices.
I love to find great vintage finds when I’m traveling or local shops within the area. But if I’m being honest, I’ve gotten into a habit of shopping online more often because of my busy schedule. So I’ve rounded up my five favorite places to shop vintage or secondhand online….take a look:
FOUNDWARE: A NSW based vintage shop. I love their care free collection (they even have kids too!) They have great vintage finds that effortlessly timeless. They’ve curated a collection of vintage finds that’s perfectly neutral and great as basics with a twist.
NA NIN VINTAGE: Vintage online shop based out of Richmond, VA. They do a great job with their imagery and it captures the perfect 90’s style that can totally be worn today. I love their over sized blouses and knitted sweaters. They always have a great selection whether it’s the winter time or summer.
SOLEILCOLLECTIVE: A vintage Etsy shop that’s giving me all of the 70’s vibes (in the best way!). There are some serious cute flared pants and bags that have me tempted to add to my shopping cart at this very moment. Their collection is definitely a bit more eclectic, but I like having one piece or so that stands out.
PRESERVATION: Is a vintage shop based in Iowa. They have a brick and mortar shop in downtown Des Moines. The site has a mix of new and vintage clothing, handbags, jewelry, etc. – you can find the vintage options under “One of a Kind.” They pick the best and most unique pieces, especially denim tops and dresses.
WOVENFOLK: Is an online shop that focuses on beautiful vintage and handmade woven goods (including home goods too). They seriously have the best stuff especially if you want to add some woven pieces into your life.
