Chic, ultra-curated and small-batch: how secondhand fashion is moving on from Vinted

Style-conscious shoppers are increasingly turning to small-batch fashion sites to curate their look for them. We meet the people at the forefront of the movement.

"But scrolling through endless fields of clothing pics on the off-chance you'll stumble across something great in the wild gets tiring. Increasingly, shoppers are instead turning to sites like Retold and fellow second hand site Curate and Rotate to unearth those rare finds for them, or to help them curate the look' they've been searching for."

"We're very curated, which is what, I think, sets us apart, agrees Melanie Milham, who runs Curate and Rotate. "Everything that is online is something that we would wear ourselves and that we feel fits in with the way in which we would dress ourselves." For Milham and her tiny team, that involves lots of minimal, neutral-toned outfits, adorned with pops of colour or statement accessories - as well as favourite brands like Raey and Tibi."

Curate & Rotate: "This is a great place to find all things neutral toned and chic. Drops are often weekly (on Tuesdays), and include plenty of items from brands like Tibi, SIR and Raey. Keep your eyes peeled for the brand's new dress collection too, which is available to pre-order."
