Vinting my way to a pair of Jimmy Choos

That’s the plan. The Jimmy Choo Heloise

https://www.jimmychoo.com/en/women/shoes/heloise-120/latte-nappa-leather-platform-sandals-HELOISE120NAP080258.html

The goal is £795. I cannot in good conscience pay this amount from my income… but from recycling. Absolutely all for that.

So far I have £56 and 20 or so pending.

I have calculated an ambitious £20 a day gets me to the goal in just over a month. Thats very ambitious and I will not achieve that 😂

The deadline is summer for my wedding shoes.

Anyone want to make an epic vinted goal and join me?

I def want leather. I am hoping this is a shoe I can rewear for summer and holidays for life.

So the Latte nappa leather is the one for me I think 😊

Never know I might love them so much I start another vinted journey next year for a tan edition 😂

They’re lovely but that colour might get wrecked in no time.

This is true. Maybe I will have to sell them on after and switch to tan before they lose their value.

Switch your bank account 3 or 4 times, you'll get the money that way. Look on Moneysavingexpert.com.

I decided to save all my Vinted earnings towards a trip to Disneyland Paris. Once I hit £750 I booked it. Took a while as I didn’t list anything for weeks at a time, but I also did a boot sale during the summer which helped massively. It definitely helped me sort my stuff out and get listing when I had a specific goal in mind!

Indeed! I’m hitting DH’s wardrobe over the weekend as he has lots of designer suits etc that no matter what he tells himself, he isn’t fitting into them any more!

Haha love this! Mens do sell very well actually. DP has had some good sales.

I just sold £8 and have listed 50 🥳

Oh I like this - I end up spending my earnings on Vinted but it’s hit and miss. I’m going to find something I really want and save now. Thank you for the idea!!!

if you have books I find you can sell them for £1 quite easily

I switched a while ago so not sure it it's still the case, but Amex used to do amazing cashback offers for Jimmy Choo so might be worth taking out a card and keeping an eye out for it.

When I read Jimmy Choos was expecting something special. These are so ordinary, much copied at the bottom end of the market.

I'd want magic, Sophie Webster at that price. I think Meghan duchess of Sussex has a shoe closet I'd raid. ❤️

Ooo really! How much were they there?

@Skdkhvyvrhej

They might still have them, OP.

My top tip for vinted selling, sell Lego and Dr Martens. If you have either or both you will be fine 🙂

Trainspotter12 · Today 15:40

You can do it OP. I’ve made circa £2k on Vinted this year, it’s easy. It’s a hobby for me really as I’ve already got a full time WFH job. I’m using it to put towards our trip to Disneyworld next year.

Wow those shoes are amazing! But also look like a world of pain to me 🤣 I worse white lacy trainers under my wedding dress 🤭

That's what I thought too.

I had sore feet after a wedding day in kitten heels and removed them for the entire evening.

I can't imagine wearing those shoes for the entire day.

I love this!

Ive been selling on Vinted for a while but it just goes towards daily life, this thread has encouraged me to choose a goal!

FancyBiscuitsLevel · Today 15:59

For those making a lot on vinted, are you just selling what you already have (which requires you to have lots of really good stuff you no longer want) or are you “flipping” stuff you e got from second hand /charity shops etc?
