In recent years, shopping vintage has shifted from strictly classic (1970s fashion<\/a> and earlier) to the new embrace of 1980s fashion<\/a> and 1990s trends as what many in the industry call “contemporary vintage.”<\/p>\n

With a new generation of vintage lovers discovering secondhand style and unleashing their finds on digital marketplaces online, the ’80s and ’90s are leaving a stronger impression of “vintage” on everyone and anyone who wears vintage fashion.<\/p>\n

The birth of ASOS Marketplace<\/a> illustrates just how the contemporary vintage industry has grown. This United Kingdom based e-tailer opened a secondhand marketplace for the sales of vintage, secondhand and independent designs in 2010 to offer customers of its modern fashion offerings the chance to curate and sell collections of their own fashion tastes.\u00a0What transpired after launch was an attraction of sellers and buyers of mostly ’80s-’90s contemporary vintage styles.<\/p>\n

So after exploring\u00a0ASOS Marketplace and discovering its great contemporary fashion finds, I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you so you could check out these shops for yourself. And if you’re a seller? Perhaps their success will \u00a0inspire you to reach a new audience of buyers by selling your collection on ASOS Marketplace.<\/p>\n

While Etsy, eBay, Yardsellr and other online marketplaces remain the go-to destinations to buy and sell vintage in the United States, ASOS represents an emerging \u00a0international market of vintage sellers predominantly based in the United Kingdom but also representing sellers from around the world.<\/p>\n

With more than 400 UK-based boutiques and 25 from the US already selling on ASOS, there’s no doubt this marketplace is growing to become one of the go-to contemporary vintage destinations on the world wide web.<\/p>\n

Is this the first time you’ve heard of ASOS Marketplace<\/a>?<\/p>\n
