Chanel bags, Burberry raincoats, Gucci sneakers, Rodarte dresses, Balenciaga hoodies and other things in search of a new home

With the departure of brands from Russia, the trend for conscious consumption has turned from a fashion trend into the only possible way of life. As a result, the resale of things, which in the professional environment is called «resale», clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelry becomes our reality. You can buy a Chanel bag and Margiela jeans in good condition that were in a sock — and sometimes in vain in the closet of the former owner — on online platforms, most of which carefully monitor the authenticity of things. We talk about retail stores where you can find good things with delivery to Russia, as well as send your things there for sale.

Vestiaire Collective

In stock: Women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes, bags, shoes, sneakers, watches and jewelry from Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Maison Martin Margiela, Gucci, Cartier, Omega, Rolex, Celine and many, many others, both vintage and from recent collections.

Perhaps this is the most popular international platform for the resale of luxury brands of clothing, shoes, swimwear, jewelry, glasses and other accessories with delivery to Russia. There are brands that are more democratic, for example, adidas (including brand collaborations with famous fashion designers), Levi’s and Mango. The sellers set the prices themselves, but the site gives them recommendations on how to determine this price. It’s not cheap here, especially since you often have to pay extra for delivery, but it’s reliable: the Vestiaire Collective team checks the authenticity of the lots and their compliance with the seller’s description.

What Goes Around Comes Around

In stock: Women’s and men’s clothing, shoes, jewelry, watches, bags, glasses and other accessories, as well as interior items, sports equipment and pet products from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Fendi, Gucci, Kenzo and other luxury brands.

Here, unlike Vestiaire Collective, there are no democratic brands, but on What Goes Around Comes Around you can even set up the display of prices in rubles. For registered users, delivery is free, a letter confirming authenticity is attached to each purchase. In addition to the website, the project has several offline stores in the USA.

Second Friend Store

Available:Women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes and accessories with brands ranging from Uterque and Premiata to Dries Van Noten and Chanel.

A pioneer of luxury retail in Russia with an offline showroom on Myasnitskaya, where you can try everything in person, and worldwide delivery. A convenient website with good navigation, high-quality footage and prices in rubles. There are completely unworn things, sizes are found from XS to L.

Ebay

Available:The case when you can find anything from a variety of brands.

Ebay is one of the very first marketplaces on the Internet, and you can find any brands there at a variety of prices. The problem is that the whole site is based on trust and only payment is really safe here (for which PayPal is required), so the money for the purchase can be returned under some conditions, but it is not a fact that it will be possible to do this if the seller sends a fake instead of the original thing. However, you can only buy from sellers with a good rating and ask them for a lot of detailed photos of the lot. Another bonus of Ebay is auctions, where with luck a good thing can be snatched for a very nice price. Before buying, it is worth checking what the seller delivers to Russia.

Grailed

In stock: Men’s and unisex clothing, shoes, jewelry, watches, bags, glasses and other accessories from Supreme, Palace, Off-White, Balenciaga, Bape, Louis Vuitton, Moncler, Gosha Rubchinsky, Stone Island, Nike, adidas, Rick Owens and other premium and democratic brands with a focus on streetwear and avant-garde fashion.

Grailed was conceived as a platform for the sale of men’s streetwear, but it has expanded its horizons a little, and among Nike hoodies, Supreme T-shirts, Comme des Garcons x Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers and other things associated with street fashion and skaters, you can find Yves Saint Laurent Cossacks in excellent condition or a Prada bag made of pink faux fur, and many men’s things, as you know, sit perfectly on women. The site is good for convenient navigation, confirmed by the authenticity of things and the protection of the buyer and seller provided by PayPal (alas, this requires an account in this payment system). It also helps that each seller has a rating, and theoretically you can negotiate other payment options with a seller with a good rating, but it’s still a risk. The shipping cost is not included in the price and depends on the region.

Resee

In stock: Women’s clothing, shoes, accessories and jewelry from luxury brands, including Alaïa, Fendi, Lanvin, Gucci, Givenchy, Rodarte, The Row, Rick Owens, Miu Miu and Vivienne Westwood, as well as clothing made according to the idealogy of upcycling, that is, by remaking and updating things that were already in use.

A pleasant and convenient website with designer and vintage clothes in good, very good and excellent condition — you can find both Balenciaga of the early 2000s, Yves Saint Laurent of the 1970s or Alaïa of the 1990s, as well as items of the same brands from recent collections. All products are very well filmed, so it’s convenient to look at each item. Delivery is global. In general, Asos is for luxury resale. The prices, however, are quite high, but this is fair: the founders of Resee Sofia Bernardin and Sabrina Marshall, having worked for many years in fashion magazines Vogue and Self Service, are sensitive to clothes and check every thing they receive before sending it for sale. If necessary, they also prepare things for sale, sending them for repair and dry cleaning.

Buy By Me

Available:Women’s clothing, shoes, bags and other accessories of premium brands, from H&M design collaborations to Acne Studios, Max Mara and Gucci, are also represented by good Russian designers like Osome2some and Walk of Shame.

Another Moscow retail project with a convenient website and high-quality footage. The cost of delivery includes fitting, that is, the buyer can refuse unsuitable items. There is a section with sales, where prices become quite pleasant.

Oskelly

Available:Brand new and slightly used branded clothing, shoes and accessories for women, men and children.

Premium items from Russian boutiques and individuals, checked by the site team for authenticity. The site itself is convenient — the founders clearly turned to the best Western analogues and did not skimp on development. There are a lot of lots with tags, there is a possibility of free return and even bargaining — that is, the buyer can offer the seller a price lower than the stated one. Prices range from quite large to extremely pleasant in terms of brand-price tag ratio.

Depop

Available:Luxury, affordable and vintage clothing, accessories and shoes for men and women.

A marketplace similar to a standard social network with profiles of sellers and buyers and functioning only in the application format. Private individuals sell their wardrobes here, streetwear, technological clothing, vintage, mass market are most common. You can find both more or less ordinary adidas and Off-White, or buy something from the 70s without a label at all.

Luxxy

Available:Luxury for men, women and children — shoes, clothes, accessories.

The Russian marketplace, where luxury brands of the Moschino and Gucci level are sold by private sellers. Here, as on many similar platforms, a secure transaction system operates, where the buyer’s money is first received by the platform and transferred to the seller only after the buyer has confirmed that everything is in order with the goods (there are 12 hours for this). The project also provides a bag authentication service, however, for an additional fee from 2000 to 8000 rubles.

Poshmark

In stock: Women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes, jewelry, watches, bags, glasses and other accessories from the mass market of different price tags and quality, from Zara to Asos and luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Acne and Chanel — the list of brands is huge; you can also buy small things for home and interior, most of which look like from a «Red Cube», and cosmetics.

A convenient marketplace with the widest selection of items of diametrically opposite brands, from famous fashion houses to simple mass brands, sportswear and even work uniforms and used AC/DC merch. In general, this is a real online second-hand store, where, with an effort, you can find vintage pearls, rare things and brands that are not sold in Russia. Poshmark also has buyer protection, and the money first goes to the platform, and the platform transfers it to the seller only when the buyer reports that he received the goods and everything is fine with him. Prices vary — some lots cost less than in any ordinary novelty store only from the assembly line, and some are more expensive than if you buy similar items of the same brands in Russia, it all depends on the specific seller.

Lots

Available:Women’s clothing, shoes, bags and accessories of premium brands, including Russian ones.

Another good and safe Russian project, whose team authorizes sellers and checks all lots before they are sent to the buyer. The choice here is not very big yet, but all things are interesting, and most likely Lots will still have time to grow. By the way, the site has a special section with Alyona Doletskaya’s things, and it is convenient to follow the new products and give feedback in the telegram channel of the project (bigsalemoscow).

Etsy

Available:Women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes, jewelry, watches, bags, glasses and other accessories from luxury and democratic brands.

Etsy resembles Ebay: on this site, with properly compiled queries, you can find vintage Dior glasses, Burberry trench coats, adidas and Nike hoodies, Gucci bags, as well as items from the mass market or manufactured in the former Soviet Union — small local vintage stores and second—hand shops from all over the world, including the USA, Asia and the Baltic States, primarily sell here. Just keep in mind that the authenticity of luxury items will have to be checked independently and take the seller’s word for it, but the price tag can be very pleasant, however, as well as justifiably high. In addition, you should immediately look at which countries the seller is ready to ship the goods to and how much the delivery costs.
