For those of you that are in the US. Vinted is a buy and sell of used items. In 2008, our founder Milda Mitkute was moving but had too many clothes to take with her. Justas Janauskas offered help and built a website to give away her clothes to friends. Soon enough, the media wanted in. The duo knew they were on to something – Vinted was born.  Vinted’s mission statement is: “On a mission to make second-hand first choice” In the few years I have been using the site, I have seen a massive increase in the selling of new items. There are now sellers that are obviously small businesses that ONLY sell new items. This is in direct conflict with Vinted’s original purpose. It is sad that this company has decided that making money is more important than its original idea. I have chosen to stop buying and selling on Vinted because of this. I hope that others will also choose to do so. #vinted #vintedsellout
