Vinted App Review: Buy, Sell, and Swap Clothing From Your Own Closet

First and foremost, I stumbled upon Vinted while I was scrolling through my Facebook. Might I add that I find it funny how they strategically place ads so that you get that thought in your mind that says, "Hey, I wonder what this app is like". Haha, so I couldn't help it, I then clicked and downloaded the app. Initially, the app was kind of confusing. There were so many things going on at once, (buying, selling, shopping, swapping, gifting, etc.). So, I think that the best way to describe this app is that it is sort of like an online yard sale, except instead of only buying and selling things you can swap and give away things as well.

Ultimately I found it very fun to look through my closet and find things that I don't necessarily want or need anymore, and turn it into money or things that I actually want or need. More specifically, I had this designer bag in my closet for forever that I had never worn because it was a gift and wasn't really my style, and by the end I ended up with a different designer bag that was completely "me".

Overall, I give this app a rating of 10/10, especially if you really enjoy clothing, accessories, shoes, and other things that fit in those categories. Heck, I could even say that I'm pretty much addicted. I can't help but check the app every 20 minutes just to see if anything has changed.
