Chic, ultra-curated and small-batch: how second-hand fashion is moving on from Vinted
Had enough of scrolling the tens of thousands of Vinted hits, in search for a new (old) treasure? Last month, a new luxury second hand platform launched which is not your average resale site. Called Francine and run by Amy Bannerman, who currently works as eBay's pre-loved style director, it's a much more curated approach. The number of items on sale are small: 10 to 20 items per collection, and they're all unique. The first 'drop' was a collection of gorgeous upcycled, vintage leather jackets that were hand-painted by artist Chiara Perano; the second is a collection of embellished Teva sandals.
