The best online vintage stores to shop sustainably

Whether you’re taking part in Second Hand September or want to overhaul your wardrobe for the long run, mixing vintage with high-street clothing is the key to being trendy as well as sustainable. But vintage shopping isn’t easy, you can easily spend hours in a store and walk out with nothing – which is why online shopping is the answer.

We’ve rounded up the best online vintage clothing stores for you, whether you’re after designer handbags to invest in, like a vintage Chanel 2.55 bag, or the perfect retro band t-shirt.

Mother Vintage is a curated collection of vintage and preloved womenswear, established in 2020 by Kim (the name is a nod to her mother, whose 70s and 80s wardrobe shaped her style), who has worked in the fashion industry for almost a decade, at the likes of Stella McCartney and Emilia Wickstead. Expect to shop statement sleeves, bold florals and rare designer pieces.

COS Resell

If you’re more into modern preloved pieces rather than hardcore vintage styles, then COS Resell, launching in September, is for you. The high street brand is creating a new digital space to provide customers with a platform to buy and sell their pre-loved COS clothing, offering their community the opportunity to re-invent their wardrobe in a considered and sustainable way, and to prolong the lifespan of their preloved COS clothes.

Re-sell reinforces COS' ambition and journey to becoming fully circular and renewable, and their commitment to quality and longevity by re-imaging the lifecycle of each pre-loved piece. The community-curated online selection will provide peers the opportunity to sell old favourites and shop new pieces from the brand's archive, spanning the last 13 years.

Retold Vintage

Established in 2018, Retold curates vintage pieces for today’s fashion conscious women who love a modern aesthetic but want to shop sustainably without compromising their style and time. Everything is handpicked by owner Clare Lewis, and there is also a bridal section of alternative collection of vintage separates for all your wedding needs.

Atijo store

Who said vintage can’t be minimalist? For those of you who hate the idea of 80s Laura Ashley dresses, Atijo store is for you. Sold exclusively on Instagram for now, paired back designs include oversized Balmain blazers and Yves Saint Laurent pumps, though there are lots of lovely unbranded items too. You can also shop homeware and menswear.

One Scoop Vintage

Founder Holly scouts car boot sale to curate the very best of vintage, from more modern contemporary brands such as Ganni to designer items like Dolce & Gabbana.

ASOS Marketplace

ASOS Marketplace is a great place to start, with its offering of vintage boutiques, individual designers and independent labels. All pieces are modelled by real people, they call it 'the people's runway', so you know exactly what you're getting. The Marketplace blog is a great source of style inspiration, too. Bravo, ASOS.

You are very safe in Stella's hands. Having worked at Levi's, Marks & Spencer, Topshop and own a stall at Portobello Market (Kate Moss and Stella McCartney were regulars, FYI), she set up The Stellar Boutique. It's bursting with one-off gems from designers and artists from all over the world. Warning: you will lose hours of your life pouring over Stella's cleverly curated collections.

Beyond Retro

You’ve probably already heard of Beyond Retro. And for good reason. What started off in an old, disused dairy factory in East London, has grown so much that now they have shops in Brick Lane, Dalston, Soho, Brighton, and even Sweden. In store, they pride themselves on providing an ‘enchanting and unexpected shopping experience’, and the online offerings are just as dreamy.

Rokit

With clothes for men, women and children from the 20s to 80s, Rokit is a veritable treasure trove of vintage and retro gems. The site is so easy to use with a search-by-era tool that we just love.

1stdibs

A vintage-hunter's idea of heaven, this shop curates vintage clothes, fine art, furniture and jewellery from across Europe and America. Mainly aimed at those with bigger budget.

Farfetch

Farfetch brings together boutiques from all over the world, including the best vintage stores. Head straight for the 'Vintage' section and a few carefully selected filters will lead you to your dream Prada bag, YSL sunnies or Balenciaga dress.

Vestiaire Collective

Granted, not everything is vintage on Vestiaire, as you can buy anything from last season’s designer items to 60s Chanel, but it’s still one of your favourite destinations for online vintage shopping. Every designer item is quality controlled too so you know it’s authentic and in a good state.

Open for Vintage

Founded in 2015, Open for Vintage lets you discover and shop the finest collection of luxury vintage from the world's most prestigious boutiques. Supporting independent vintage stores and encouraging a more circular initiative within the luxury fashion industry.

William Vintage

London-based boutique William Vintage is beloved for their preeminent selection of one-of-a-kind and haute-couture pieces. Sourced from private collections around the world William Vintage is considered one of the most trusted destinations in the world for unique vintage clothing.

Second Hand September is back! 👖💚🌎 Once again, we're asking you to shop second hand throughout September, to help protect people and planet from the impacts of fast fashion. We're thrilled that Michaela Coel, the BAFTA award-winning actor, director, screenwriter, producer, playwright and poet is joining us to champion this year's campaign. "When presented with the data from Oxfam, I felt compelled to add my voice to this cause; I hope it raises awareness and encourages us to reflect on our buying habits and to consider how small changes can have a huge impact on the environment –and in turn the fight against poverty". Every year, 336,000 tonnes of clothing end up in UK landfill. Last year, 62,000 of us took positive action by pledging to shop second hand for a month. Let's see what we can achieve together this year. Make sure you share your Oxfam discoveries with us by tagging @oxfamgb and using the #SecondHandSeptember hashtag. Find out more and make your pledge via the link in our bio. . . . . . . . .
