Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Depop. Depop is recommended if styled with trendy keywords; eBay is best for reaching the brand's core older demographic looking for replacements.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'High Waisted', 'Pleated', 'Vintage Career', 'Dark Academia', and 'Tapered'. Take photos of the measurements (waist, rise, and inseam) as vintage sizing often differs from modern sizing. Steam before photographing to remove creases.
