SPENDING IN SECOND-HAND clothing stores and on resale platforms has surged by nearly 200% over the past year, according to AIB’s latest Spend Trend report.

One platform in particular, Vinted, has seen a sharp rise in popularity – with Irish Google searches increasing significantly since it launched here in late 2024.

Since arriving in Ireland, the online marketplace has consistently held a high spot on both Apple and Android app stores.

While Vinted is mostly associated with buying and selling pre-owned clothing, users can also list homeware, electronics and collectibles. To the delight of many fashion fans, the Irish version of the platform is currently paired with France.

If you’re curious about Vinted but don’t know where to start, The Journal has an explainer on how it works here.

That said, today we’re asking: Do you use Vinted?
