Finding that dream vintage Chanel bag at a decent cost can seem like an impossible feat—almost as impossible as affording said vintage Chanel bag. But whether you’re looking to shop unique vintage fashion finds or to earn some cash by cleaning out your closet, there are plenty of online consignment sites ready to get you started.
We rounded up our six favorite sites sure to help you earn some money by selling your clothes and accessories. And if you have nothing to sell, these are also the sites to shop all the designer items your closet needs.
1) The Fifth Collection
Tired of paying extortionate amounts for shipping from overseas? Not to mention the constant fear of having your package lost in transit or having your precious vintage smooth leather Chanel flap thrown around like a sack of potatoes. Founded in 2014, The Fifth Collection is a local online vintage consignment site that has a carefully curated collection of authenticated designer items; both vintage and preloved. From bags to jewellery, they offer a wide range of designers from the classics like Chanel and Hermes to Azzedine Alaïa.

2) Vestiaire Collective
Known for its vast collection of Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Céline and more, Vestiaire Collective is an ideal site for both buyers and sellers of designer fashion. Unlike many other consignment sites, Vestiaire Collective allows sellers to choose the price of the items they are selling. After submitting 3-5 photos, descriptions, item condition and an asking price, your pieces go up on the site, similar to eBay’s setup. Vestiaire also offers up tips for sellers on how to price items correctly. As for shoppers, there are plenty of designer gems to be discovered, whether you’re looking for shoes, bags, sunglasses or ready-to-wear.
