Our favourite shops on Depop

By Emily Scott

Looking to buy into some of this season’s new trends? Whether you’re looking for Y2K Bratz dolls vibes, 90s slip dresses, or unique handmade pieces to add to your wardrobe, Depop is the place to look at. You’ll most likely find what you’re looking for while at the same time keeping the prices and your impact on the planet low. However, it can be daunting, and time-consuming to get started on the platform. But worry not, we’re here to help, we’ve selected our favourite Depop shops to look at if your wardrobe is in dire need of a makeover.

A great way to get started on Depop is to search for shops by influencers that you follow. Not only are the clothes they list often barely worn as they get a lot of clothes just for photoshoots but if you’re a fan of their style, you’re also much more likely to like their listings as well.

If you’re not looking for vintage or handmade but rather trendy pieces from this season or last, it’s the perfect place to start your research! The last three shops on this list are examples of influencers’ shops. The others are all shops we think are worth looking at. Not only are they super unique but they also have fantastic reviews and post regularly so you’re unlikely to get bored of them.

Without further ado, here’s the list of our top picks:

@Abbieaporter

Their lemon print co-ord was a summer must.
