Wardrobe re-vamp by shopping on eBay?

Has anyone actually achieved this? I would like a few nice pieces for spring, with minimum outlay, I really like Mint Velvet, Hobbs, Reiss etc. There’s not a huge selection of charity/pre-owned shops in my area, so I’m looking on line.

But is it possible in reality?Hoping to hear success stories!

Seasalt have an ebay shop. Brand new items much more affordable.

Absolutely, I only really buy clothes on eBay or vinted now, so much stuff available that’s new or virtually new. If you know the sizes you are in particular brands it’s better, I only buy certain brands otherwise you can get caught out with stuff that doesn’t fit.

I'd try Vinted as there's a huge amount of choice and people open to offers. That's where people are selling second hand clothes these days.

Totally possible. Just be prepared to be disappointed in the occasional item. Sometimes the colour or fit is nothing like you imagined. But you're paying low prices, so it doesn't matter so much. I've had many of my favourite clothes from eBay or Vinted.

Yes, you need a bit of patience and to know what you are looking for. It helps to still try things on in the shops you like, so you know the size/look.

I think it's better actually as there's a wider range of things to choose from, not just the current season. Theres a lot of new with tags items as well.

Good stuff is not usually dirt cheap but I'd still rather pay £40 for a pair of trousers than £150.
