Madewell 10" High-Rise Skinny Jeans in Tencel Denim
Madewell · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Jeans
Era / Decade
2010s-2020s modern production. The style and interior label font indicate these were manufactured within the last 3-5 years.
Material
Stretch denim, likely a blend of cotton, polyester, viscose/Tencel, and elastane. Tencel denim is a hallmark of premium Madewell lines for its softness and durability.
Condition
Very Good. The jeans show light whiskering and fading, which appear to be part of the original wash. There is no visible distressing, fraying at the hems, or crotch wear observable in the photo.
Demand Level
Moderate. While Madewell is a popular brand, the 'Skinny Jean' silhouette currently faces lower demand than wider-leg or straight-leg silhouettes. However, they remain a staple 'Bread and Butter' flip.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark and Mercari are the best platforms for Madewell due to their large millennial and Gen Z user bases. Depop is a secondary option. Facebook Marketplace is good for local sales to avoid shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Include the 'Style Number' found on the small interior tag (usually 5 digits) to help buyers find the exact fit name. Take clear photos of the back pockets and the inner size tag. Use keywords like 'High Waisted,' 'Skinny,' 'Dark Wash,' and 'Office Casual.' Small/Average sizes like 27 sell steadily.
