Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark. These platforms favor the Y2K and vintage aesthetic more than eBay or Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Coquette', 'Whimsigoth', 'Goth', and '90s Mini Bag'. Stylize with a lint roller before photos. Take photos in natural light to show the shine of the satin. Shipping via a small poly mailer will be cheap due to the light weight.
