New Online Thrift Shop For Designer Duds

I love thrift stores (just bought two nearly-new designer tops for myself at Goodwill Westport today!). So here’s an innovation: an online thrift store!

Twice is a new online site that offers gently worn designer clothing at a deep discount. It works sort of like this: people send in items, get cash, then you get the benefit of buying it. The site is brand new so it’s tough to get on it right now. But the offerings look great. I am not so sure I’d actually buy myself anything other than shoes, however.–and I don’t see those on the site at the moment.  I am at the age where I really need to try things on to see if it’s long enough over my hips–lol! I’ll look forward to the shoe selection! 

Here’s a bit from the Website:

How Does Twice Work?

Twice is like a brick & mortar clothing resale store, but online. Sellers send in their clothing (we pay shipping), and we make an offer for their items. We pay for everything upfront, so you get your cash right away! Buyers purchase items from our store, where most of our items are available for 70-90% off retail. And we offer free shipping on orders over $49 ($5 otherwise) and free 30-day returns.

The $5 shipping isn’t bad, either — it’s like a gallon of gas I’d use to get to and from a store! If you use the site, let us know if it works for you.

Another seriously sad fact from the website: the average person throws away over 170 pounds of clothing a year! However, the frugal know to donate anything in good shape, offer things as hand-me-downs, and if clothing is in rough shape, we take off the buttons for other uses and cut the garment up into rags!

    hello there and thank you for your info – I have definitely picked up anything new
    from right here. I did however expertise a few technical
    points using this website, as I experienced to reload the site lots of
    times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering
    if your web hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will very frequently affect your placement in google and could damage your high quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I’m adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for a
    lot more of your respective fascinating content. Make sure you update this again very soon.

    Looks like a great site. Thanks for the heads up. Once the site is fully functional, I might buy a pair of jeans.
