Who hasn’t bought or sold something on Depop? We are all Depop fans and some of us are buying a lot of stuff on it. It appears we are not the only ones.
Buying pre-loved items is a fast growing trend (Thrifting: the Lowdown) and analysts predict that second-hand fashion (we really need to address this awful moniker) will grow into a $80 billion business by the end of this century, overtaking the value of the fast-fashion industry. Gen Z is leading the way here – being the most socially aware, active and creative generation for a long time
Buying on Depop is affordable, very on-trend and – of course - sustainable. Hustling on the side on Depop was a happy pastime for many during the pandemic. One such ‘hobby’ accounts, 28 Vintage, set up by Harry Hunt, a student at Manchester University, propelled itself from a mere side hustle and love for vintage stuff into a proper business at breakneck speed.
TalksforTeens interviewed the founder of 28 Vintage, Harry, and asked him about how and why he started his business; how he financed it and what his top tips are for those considering starting their own business or converting their side-hustles into a full-time career. Curious? Follow Harry on @28 vintage and listen to our podcast here.
