Vinted brings together millions of users in France and generates a transaction volume that makes it a major player in the second-hand fashion market. Identifying the best-selling items on the platform requires cross-referencing several criteria: turnover speed, average resale price, and actual buyer demand. This ranking is based on trends observed in 2024, between historical categories and growing segments.
1. Polo Ralph Lauren
The Ralph Lauren polo has dominated sales on Vinted for several seasons. Its positioning between accessible fashion and a well-known brand ensures consistent demand across all age groups.
The turnover is quick: items in good condition find buyers within a few days. Classic colors (navy blue, white, green) sell faster than seasonal models. To delve deeper into the topic, a comprehensive overview lists the best-selling items on Vinted along with their price dynamics.
2. Levi’s 501 Jeans
The Levi’s 501 remains the denim reference on Vinted. Vintage models, especially those made before the 2000s, reach resale prices significantly higher than recent editions.
The straight cut and thick fabric appeal to both retro fashion enthusiasts and pragmatic buyers. The most common sizes sell out within hours when the listing is well-photographed.
3. Vintage Nike Sweatshirt
Nike occupies a central place in the streetwear segment of Vinted. Classic logo sweatshirts (centered Swoosh, 1990s label) account for a significant share of searches.
Vintage streetwear drives prices up compared to new items sold in retail stores. A vintage Nike sweatshirt in good condition with an era label sells for more than an equivalent current model, making it a high-margin item for resellers.
4. The North Face Down Jacket
The North Face Nuptse down jacket has established itself as a highly sought-after seasonal item. Every autumn, searches on Vinted explode, and available stocks deplete quickly.
The phenomenon goes beyond a simple trend: the brand benefits from a scarcity effect in the second-hand market, with popular color models sometimes reselling for more than their new purchase price. Available data does not confirm whether this dynamic holds outside the cold season.
5. Polène Bag
This French leather goods brand benefits from a price positioning lower than traditional luxury while offering recognized manufacturing quality.
The secondary market for this brand illustrates a broader trend: accessible luxury performs better than inaccessible luxury on resale platforms.
6. Baby and Children’s Clothing (Lots)
Children’s clothing represents one of the highest turnover categories on Vinted. Worn for a few months, they are resold in lots by parents and then immediately purchased by other families.
The buying logic differs from the rest of the platform: buyers prefer lots of several pieces at low prices rather than individual items. Brands like Petit Bateau, Zara Kids, or H&M Kids dominate this segment, with a sales speed hard to match in other categories.
7. Lacoste Polo and Sweatshirt
Lacoste maintains a broad buyer profile on Vinted. The crocodile polo remains a classic that transcends generations, and zippered sweatshirts see regular demand.
However, recent Lacoste pieces without distinctive markers (no visible logo, basic cut) struggle to stand out. The presence of the logo and the condition of the collar largely determine the resale price, a detail that experienced sellers monitor before posting a listing.
8. Adidas Samba and Gazelle Sneakers
The Adidas Samba and Gazelle models have seen a notable resurgence in popularity in 2024. On Vinted, pairs in good condition sell quickly, driven by the retro sneaker trend.
- Classic colors (black/white, navy blue) sell faster than limited editions in less common shades
- The most demanded sizes (38 to 42) sell within a few days
- Pairs with original boxes fetch a higher price, although the difference remains modest
9. Tommy Hilfiger Shirt and Sweater
Tommy Hilfiger is among the brands with constant demand on Vinted. Striped shirts and embroidered logo sweaters make up the bulk of sales.
The brand benefits from a perception of “accessible premium” that reassures buyers. Field reports diverge on actual profitability: some resellers report comfortable margins, while others find that competition among sellers drives prices down on the most common models.
10. Fashion Accessories (Belts, Bags, Scarves)
Accessories represent a category often underestimated on Vinted, yet they account for significant sales volume. Their main advantage: reduced shipping costs due to low weight and bulk.
- Branded leather belts (Ralph Lauren, Lacoste) sell regularly
- Handbags from accessible brands find buyers faster than models without identifiable brands
- Scarves and shawls see a marked seasonal peak between October and January
Accessories often complement a shopping cart, which explains their volume: a buyer who spots a coat frequently adds a scarf or belt from the same seller to make shipping costs worthwhile.
This ranking reflects the dynamics observed in 2024, but the second-hand market evolves quickly. One point deserves attention for regular sellers: since the implementation of DAC7, platforms transmit data of sellers exceeding 30 sales or €2,000 in annual revenue to the tax authorities. This data transmission does not automatically trigger taxation, but it requires close monitoring of one’s volumes.
