Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark or Depop are ideal for this younger-demographic brand. Mercari is a strong secondary option. Low-effort flip on Facebook Marketplace is also viable for local pickup.
Selling Tips
Steam or iron on a very low setting before photographing to remove heavy wrinkles. Use keywords like 'FP Movement', 'High Waisted', 'Smocked', and 'Athleisure'. Provide measurements for the waist (un-stretched) and inseam. Bundle these with other Free People or activewear items for faster sales.
