Some of your favorite sites are working to keep thrifting thriving.
The fashion industry is facing a crisis due to coronavirus. Brands like Gucci and Versace have canceled their destination Cruise 2021 runway shows, the Met Gala has been indefinitely postponed, and stores around the world have shut down their brick-and-mortar outposts until further notice. Meanwhile, secondhand retailers face an additional challenge during this pandemic.
Depop, The RealReal, ThredUP, and Poshmark have all released statements to inform its users of the changes they're facing during the pandemic. The RealReal has closed its four brick-and-mortar shops, as well as its 10 luxury consignment shops, and instead is offering virtual appointments for those who still wish to consign. Depop and Poshmark have announced pickup options for those who wish to stay at home while continuing to sell and ship items.
"We've definitely seen an uptick in clean-out as customers use their time at home to get organized," said ThredUP's Natalie Tomlin."Taking on the task of cleaning out your closet can help you feel productive and create a space that feels orderly when the world outside is chaotic." One thing these companies lack control over is shipping delays. Many have cut staff and rely on sellers to ship their own items, which may take longer because of shelter-in-place orders. Poshmark is working on extending its shipping window while Depop has encouraged sellers to communicate early on if they expect any delays in their shipments.
