FIND YOUR VINTAGE TREASURE
As I approach my retirement after many fulfilling years dedicated to our family's roofing business, I've been giving a lot of thought to how I'd like to spend my time and energy in this new chapter. I'm eager to remain active and engaged with something I find meaningful.
Recently, as I transitioned to working fewer hours, I found myself undertaking a significant decluttering project at home. During this process, I discovered an online platform for selling my clothes. I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed the experience of finding new homes for my pre-loved items, and it brought back some lovely memories associated with them.
This personal experience inspired me to offer a similar service to my friends, and I began selling their clothing on Vinted. I found this incredibly satisfying, and with my background in running our family business, I decided to take the leap and venture out on my own. It feels like a natural progression, combining my love for giving items a second life with my entrepreneurial spirit.
I am so grateful for the initial support and encouragement I've received from my friends and family as I embark on this new endeavor. Their belief in this idea has been truly invaluable.
Beyond pre-loved clothing, I've also recognized a demand for certain new fashion items. You can now find a selection of these on my website, including a variety of handbags, stylish hats, and other interesting wardrobe accessories that I've carefully curated.
WHAT I DO
I'm passionate about the pre-loved clothing market and helping to reduce textile waste. It always strikes me how many great clothes end up in landfills, even though someone else would truly appreciate them. Why not turn those unneeded items into an opportunity to treat yourself to something new?
I genuinely believe that almost any piece of clothing can find a new home and be loved again by someone else. That's where I come in. I offer a service where you can simply pass on your unwanted clothes to me. I'll take care of valuing them based on the current second-hand market, creating appealing advertisements, handling the packing and shipping, and managing all customer interactions.
My fee for this comprehensive service is just a small percentage of the final sale price. For any items that don't sell, you have the choice of having them returned to you or donating them to local charities, ensuring they still serve a good purpose. Interestingly, some of my current clients even choose to donate the entire proceeds from their sold items to their favourite charities, which is a wonderful way to give back.
You've really got nothing to lose by giving it a try. If you have any clothes you'd like to pass on, please feel free to message me, and we can discuss how I can help.
