One of my favorite new digital fashion startups Material Wrld has a good thing going as they combine designer fashion with philanthropy. I had a great experience with my first trade-in with Material Wrld last fall where I mailed in a few pieces from my closet that I longer wore, received an offer for my items, then shopped with a new gift card at my favorite retailer.
My last trade in included three 3.1 Phillip Lim dresses and a DVF dress. Two out of my three items were accepted and received offers.
I decided to keep the DVF and other Phillip Lim dress which Material Wrld returned to me. As a result, my items earned me a $75.00 Nordstrom gift card. Not a bad trade for items I no longer wear.
Since my first successful and fun trade-in, I had the urge to purge again, reorganizing my closet, finding a few other designer pieces I’m no longer wearing that will hopefully earn another offer. This time’s trade-in includes a Jean Paul Gaultier skirt and top, a Marc Jacobs wool skirt, a Vince eyelet dress, and a Dolce Gabbana dress.
How Material Wrld works:
- Receive a free Trade-In Kit that includes a list of accepted items, mailer bag, and a prepaid shipping label.
- Mail in pre-owned designer fashions. Simply pack them up in the mailer bag and drop off at a UPS.
- Receive an upfront offer for your items. You’ll receive an offer by email 5 to 7 business days after receipt. You can accept or pass on any items you wish to have returned, and also select to have non-accepted items returned to you or donated to Housing Works.
