Thrifting at your fingertips!

Today’s blog is not going to be around a market in Delhi, rather, I’ll be sharing with you a few online mobile applications, websites and stores which thrifts and sells the coolest and trendiest clothes at very affordable prices.

Before that, I would like to clear out a few basics,

Thrifting runs on 2 factors –

1. pre-loved items which means selling out that part of your wardrobe which is not very useful to you now.

2. Thrift shopping – This means that the seller will be visiting thrift markets, handpicking clothes for you and selling them with a minimal profit. Making it a win-win situation for both buyer as well as the seller.

One of these applications is Stage3 social application, available on both IOS and Android devices. This app provides you with a platform to share and sell your pre-loved items and clothes which have been sitting in your wardrobe since too long now. The interface of this application and their selling procedure is really easy. They even feature you in the influencer’s spotlight to get your items sell at a much faster pace.

The item you upload on the app goes to the team for a further review and after 24 hours you can see your clothing live for people to browse and shop from.

Stage3 social, being one of the few brands who are actually promoting slow fashion and making people aware about the concept of thrifting.

If you find any piece of clothing from top brands like Mango, AND, Zara or Forever21, and can’t really afford to buy it? Stage3 has got you covered. Here, you can easily browse and filter through brands, clothing categories, pricing, colours and a lot more.

Stage3 also promotes a lot of small business owners to sell their products and engage with an even bigger audience and buyers.

Their collection includes streetwear, fusion, ethnic wear, staples, casual fashion, bohemian, artsy style, and much more.

Price ranging is more or less between Rs. 100 till Rs. 3,000, mainly depending on the brand.

My 2nd suggestion is Poshmark, a newly launched mobile application, available on both Android as well as IOS.

Poshmark is another application which promotes thrift shopping and slow fashion. I have personally used both of these apps. They are user friendly, making it very easy for people to list their items on the app.

In this way it is even easier to browse and shop the items, while always staying stylish and keeping up with the clothing trends.

Poshmark also holds 3-4 style poshstyle online parties every day, where items are available at slashed out prices and topped with free shipping.

The price ranging is between Rs. 200 - Rs. 5,000

Think before buying from these fast fashion brands, and do your bit for the environment. Start promoting and shopping from the small business owners.
