I am totally addicted to vinted. Selling and buying and browsing every single category - homewear, clothing, accessories, craft supplies. Logging into vinted after a long day of working feels like i am 13 years old and walking into Granny May’s stationery and sticker shop at Bondi Junction after school.
Vinted is a modern day 2026 version of every Granny May’s, charity shop, car boot sale, vintage store, all rolled into one.
The non-aesthetic aesthetic really sets it apart and whilst it originally all about ease of use, just snap a pic and upload it immediately, it is a refreshing antidote to pinterest and the ultra beautiful imagery that we have become accustomed to. This is real, raw, and unfiltered. This is all about selling cheap and making things seem vintage and rare even if it’s not.
Vinted rules:
I have my vinted personal rules, they ensure i don’t go crazy buying things i don’t need.
- I’m not allowed to buy something if i don’t have the funds in my vinted account from selling something.
- I don’t buy something late at night, save it as a favourite and come back to it the next day if you still want it
- Keep items in your favourites for as long as possible before buying, if someone else beats you to it, then too bad. This also helps you realise whether you actually really wanted it or not.
- If i don’t have an immediate use for something don’t buy it , just save it in your favourites.
