Editors’ Pick: The Best Online Consignment Stores

The fashion industry has become increasingly more aware of the dangers of mass production and fast fashion, leading the way for thrifting to become all the more popular. With retailers and consumers rethinking how to sell and consume, putting an emphasis on sustainability and ethical shopping, buying second-hand clothing is a great way to shop responsibly.

The resale market is booming with emerging resellers standing out with unique pieces, curated and meticulously chosen based on their style. See our selection below of the best up and coming consignment shops that are taking over the world of slow fashion.

Subrina Heyink Vintage

Subrina Heyink is the founder of the vintage shop that goes by the same name. The Nigerian stylist first opened her store in 2017 but quickly grew the business on instagram, at the time a unique marketing strategy that allowed her to showcase her inventory and make it easily accessible to buyers. She later took advantage of story highlights to further expose the products. @subrinaheyinkvintage makes our list because of their unique designer items, such as a one-of-a-kind ’90s Jean Paul Gaultier knit dress or a vintage Escada shirt, all at very reasonable prices.
