Yoox.com offers “possibly the biggest and best selection of unused but not current designer goods.” Launched in 2000, it benefits from “long-standing relationships with designers, manufacturers, and retailers.”
Vaunte.com can be thought of as “a huge garage sale thrown by fashion insiders.” You’re given a glimpse of each seller’s lifestyle and interests as you peruse “gently used” wares from top designers.
TheOutNet.com functions as an online outlet store where designers—and sister site Net-A-Porter.com—sell deeply discounted goods from previous fashion seasons.

VestiaireCollective.com brings a social media element to the past-season market by letting members create profiles and write comments. “Like eBay, Vestiaire is a marketplace to buy and sell goods,” but it authenticates each sale item to eliminate fakes.
