Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop (best for 90s vintage), Etsy (best for 'Made in USA' collectors), or Poshmark (best for classic staples).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like '90s Vintage,' 'Grandpa Sweater,' 'Coastal Grandmother,' 'Made in USA,' and 'Cobalt Blue.' Photograph the piece folded or on a high-quality hanger to show the weight of the knit. Best sold in Fall or Spring due to the cotton material being a 'transitional' weight.
