The Best Online Thrift Stores for Quarantine

At this point many of us have been wearing the same rotation of clothes for 8 weeks.


With summer coming up, most of us would be heading out to our neighborhood thrift shops to stock up on new gear for the warmer months. But with the economy at a standstill, chances are vintage thrift stores are going to be some of the last places to open up shop. Luckily, there remain hundreds of online thrift stores that can scratch this itch. Sure, shipping may be slightly delayed, and there is nothing like the instant satisfaction of buying new digs in-house, but beggars can’t be choosers right now. Here are some of the best online thrift stores.

The store credit is really excellent at offering great discounts of ThredUp’s stuff. Also, to promote sustainable shopping, ThredUp launched ReMade to help incentivize shoppers to resell. If you purchase an item, and choose to resell your item, then you’re guaranteed 40 percent of what you paid for it.
