A SAVVY Vinted seller who has made almost £4,500 on the second-hand platform has shared the 18 unexpected brands that will make you a fortune. 

So if your wardrobe is bursting at the seams with clothes you never wear, you’ve come to the right place and will need to take notes.

Not only this, but Chloe Chandler, 25, a side hustler from the UK, claimed that people often make the same mistake when it comes to pricing their clothes on Vinted.

Posting on social media, the fashion fan who has cashed in £4,415.34 through the marketplace app, advised people to check their wardrobes for old Jane Norman and Morgan clothes, as she claimed these brands are just two of many that are “popular on Vinted at the moment”.

Sharing her top tips and tricks, the content creator and Vinted enthusiast who buys and sells on the app “every single day” explained: “I’ve got a Vinted tip for you – specifically for the people that are selling their old clothing, in particular clothing from the early 2000s.”

The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, stressed the mistake many people make, as she added: “There are some brands at the moment that were popular back then that are so popular on Vinted now and I see people uploading clothing items from this sort of era and they aren’t priced high enough.

“They don’t know the value of the clothing. What I mean by this is people who have very clearly just started out on Vinted, they’ve got a couple of reviews and they’re just clearing out their old clothing – they don’t do their research about the products that they’re selling and it means that they are selling tops that are worth probably £20 plus, for £3.50.”

Not only this, but Chloe, who previously warned that Vinted sellers should never spray perfume on items, then listed the 18 brands that are currently flying on Vinted.

Not only is Jane Norman, Etam, Together, Wet Seal, Oasis and Morgan selling well, but she also acknowledged that old items from New Look, Lipsy, Per Una, Marks & Spencer, Miss Selfridge and River Island will sell quickly too.

Additionally, she recognised that items from brands including Vintage Dressing, Playboy, Krisp, Monsoon, E-Vie and Principles are also proving popular.

She voiced: “Some of them are doing really, really well.”

For those looking to get rid of their old clothes, Chloe advised: “If you manually search the item that you are selling and try and find something similar, you’ll be able to see what sort of price it goes for on Vinted.

“Don’t go by the suggested pricing that Vinted gives you when you try and enter the price when you are uploading your item.”

Instead, she recommended: “Save it as a draft and then manually search it because the suggested prices aren’t accurate.

“Specifically old New Look, Jane Norman, that sort of stuff is becoming really popular on Vinted now. 

“So if you are clearing out your old wardrobe, make sure you are looking and just double checking what your items are worth, because I’m seeing not many people do research and it means you’re losing out on money.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @chloe_chandlerx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as viewers eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts. 

One person said: “I tried buying a Jane Norman top that was listed for £2 and someone bought it within half a minute.” 

Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view

Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:

It’s the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.

There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.

And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.

From personal experience, I’ve bought ‘cheap’ bundles of children’s clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.

Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn’t feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids’ stuff.

I’ve also bought more premium high-street items – a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos – only to find they didn’t fit properly and the colours were faded.

I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.

A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I’m not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn’t want to miss out.

Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items – a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 – makes me feel a bit queasy.

Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that’s done once or twice a year as a necessity.

But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.

To this, Chloe replied and confirmed: “Yep! They go sooooo fast at that price!” 

Meanwhile, another added: “I have found so many of my camis from the 2000s but I’ve cut tags out and can’t remember where they’re from.”

In response, Chloe wrote back and suggested: “Just put the brand as ‘vintage’!! Then write in the description that you cut the tags out but they are from 2000s.”

I went to my doctor because I was so tired & was later given shock diagnosis – one in five carry gene

A YOUNG woman has told how she was diagnosed with a genetic disorder after struggling with being tired all of the time.

Haemochromatosis, which causes iron to build up in your body over the years, is more common in Ireland than anywhere else in the world.

One in 83 people are at risk of developing it, while one in five carry the gene.

Aoife Lawlor, 28, from Waterford, has been living with the illness for the past eight years.

After suffering with symptoms like chronic fatigue, she was finally diagnosed in 2018 at just 21 years old.

She told the Irish Sun: “My doctor decided to do my ferritin levels [and] they were elevated. Then they did the TSATS which is the next test they do, and if they’re both elevated they recommend a genetic test.”

It’s one of the most common genetic disorders in Ireland, though for Aoife, it wasn’t discovered that way.

She explained: “I know a lot of people who have hemochromatosis were discovered because someone in their family had it.

“That wasn’t my case, I was discovered accidentally [after] having a blood test for a different reason, for tiredness.

“It was a bit different for me because for a lot of people, maybe their parents had it and encouraged their children to get tested but I was kind of the first.”

When Aoife went through the genetic test in 2018, she found that she had two copies of the C282Y gene.

This is a genetic mutation of the HFE gene which is a significant risk factor for hereditary hemochromatosis.

She explained: “If you have two copies of the gene you may be at risk of developing iron overloads, and according to the Irish Hemochromatosis Society, there could be about 20,000 people undiagnosed and not realizing.”

PREMATURE DEATH

It’s vital to get diagnosed early, as left untreated it could lead to a number of issues including iron overload, organ damage and even premature death.

She added: “The iron overload can lead to organ damage or premature death, so really it is good to be tested with just a simple blood test that can basically save your health in the future.

“I was really tired, that was my main symptom, chronic fatigue, and a lot of people say that they get joint pain especially in their knuckles.

“I thankfully haven’t experienced [many more symptoms] from it being caught early, but a lot of people can experience liver disease, type 2 diabetes and cardiomyopathy.”

But despite its prevalence, not many know about it.

Common symptoms usually appear between the ages of 30 and 60, and usually include: 

  • feeling very tired all the time (fatigue)
  • weight loss
  • weakness
  • joint pain
  • not being able to get or keep an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • irregular periods or missing periods

Thanks to Aoife’s early diagnosis, she has been availing of treatment for the past eight years and now works as a civil servant.

She explained: “After I got diagnosed in 2018 I had my rounds of venesections for 2018-2019 and then it came down to maintenance when levels are back to normal.

ASK FOR THE TEST

“Once they’re reestablished, you just get periodic blood tests to make sure they’re still normal, then you maintain it and might only need to have a venesection twice a year depending on who you are and your levels.”

Medical charity The Irish Haemochromatosis Association (IHA) offers support to patients and their family, and have been trying to spread awareness for 25 years.

To achieve an early diagnosis, Aoife, alongside the charity are urging anyone who experiences symptoms to go to their doctor – where a simple blood test to check their iron levels can be carried out.

She explained: “I will always say just ask to get the ferritin test done – I’m not sure if that’s included in routine blood tests but I think it’s worth asking to always get your ferritin and TSATS checked.

“It could open up something you didn’t know about, and [allow you] to have venesections.

“When people are diagnosed older they have all that time they’ve lost when they could have been having venesections and fixing it.

“I’m relatively young to have been diagnosed, and other young people could be diagnosed if they have a family history, if they’re experiencing symptoms like chronic fatigue, just by asking for their ferritin and TSATS to be tested.

Social media as well – people might be scrolling and say ‘that kind of applies to me, I’m tired and I don’t know why’.”

World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week runs in Ireland from June 1 until June 7, and will see different landmarks lit up in red to spread the word.
