Step by step

Find your "golden mile"
Target charity shops in affluent areas (high-end brands) or university towns (vintage/Y2K).
- 2
Learn the "rack scan"
Train your eye for specific materials (silk, leather) and high-value tags (90s Nike, Carhartt).
- 3
Photograph properly
Use the "flat lay" method on a clean white bedsheet with bright natural light. Photograph wash tags and flaws.
- 4
Master SEO
Titles must include brand, colour, era, and fit (e.g., "Vintage 90s Nike Sweatshirt Grey Oversized Y2K").
