Finding gorgeous, good quality second-hand clothes can be difficult – especially when it comes to designer and luxury fashion. However, finding those perfect high-end items – be it bags, shoes, or garments – at a good price and in a like-new condition is the best feeling!
It's one of the reasons why we started kathywilliamsmarketing. With so many Very Important Bloggers (VIBs) in our network, we can pick and choose beautiful pre-loved pieces from their wardrobes and display them here for you to discover and shop.
And of course, we're delighted to be taking part in this year's Second Hand September campaign. It's great to see even the papers celebrating second-hand shopping and all its benefits. Let’s dive into the best places to buy second-hand designer clothes, as well as everyday fashion pieces.
Why shop second-hand?
There are many wonderful benefits of shopping second-hand. These include:
- Items are cheaper than their full price
- Clothes and accessories are unique to you
- There's less of an environmental impact
- Shopping can benefit charity (find out more about our charities)
At kathywilliamsmarketing, you can also rest assured that all the items listed here have been checked over by a member of our team before being listed on our site. We make sure items are of an excellent standard, and will put this in the description of each piece. We often even list brand new pieces, with or without tags on.
We also hand-pick the influencers we list on our site for their style – so you'll be sure to find trend-setting pieces here more than anywhere else!
