A little bit about us….
Hello, I’m Norma and the owner, manager, whatever you want to call it of this site. I’d love to tell you there’s 20 people in my team…but there isn’t. It’s just me.
I first started selling on Depop (you can find my page and reviews HERE), after I thought why don’t I buy high end clothes but damaged…and fix them and resell. So that’s what I did. Having sold over 100 pieces in my first year on Ebay and Depop, I thought it was time to set up my own site and here we are.
FAQ –
Are your items fake?
This was the most common question I had. No, I’ve gone really good at legit checking all items and ensure they are authentic prior to paying for it. Now here’s the thing, because I fix items, I may have to change the sole of a shoe or an inside tag of a hoodie or stitch things together using a different material, which may mean certain parts are different from the original. So if you see a label with a different font or you mate’s can legit check your Nike’s and tell you they’re fake cos such and such is different…chances are it’s just been replaced from the original…..it’s literally what I do.
How can you have multiples of the same items if you buy and repair?
Good question, so the purpose of Vintij was to make it as sustainable as possible, so we have created relationships with third parties I purchase from who send some items in bulk. One example is the Nike Backpack we have, the same company buy these yearly for their employees and send over older ones to me at a very good price if I buy in bulk. These arrive in VERY good condition so has minimal work to do on them most of the time.
Where do you get your items?
So, originally it was Ebay and Depop, but now it’s merged into building relationships with trusted third parties as well as items I find on Ebay or third party sites. We also run ads telling people I will buy their items, so I also do that.
How long is delivery?
I’m a one person team at the moment, so delivery can take a while on some instances. However 99% of the time you will get your item within 3 working days of placing your order.
Why are things more expensive on Depop? Give me a discount and I’ll be a loyal customer 4eva
Depop take 12% or something stupid of all purchases and my site doesn’t so I can list things cheaper on the site. Message me at sales@vintij.co.uk or message me on my depop HERE and I may give you a couple of quid off….maybe.
