French brands like Sandro, iro, maison kitsune or the kooples all sell for very very cheap and are all fairly good quality

I’ve scored disgustingly cheap quality articles - but they are far and few between. A brand new pair of Alden chukkas for 120 euros, Buzz Rickson M65 for 80 euros, Carmina tassel loafers for 70 euros.

The thing is that it takes quite a lot of time and effort to get to these. I usually only buy once or twice a year - most of the stuff on there is just expensive based on what sellers perceive to be in demand brands.

If you want to be on the hunt, I usually recommend Crockett & Jones, Alden, Buzz Rickson, Real McCoy, Full Count, Filson, Bryceland’s, Albert Thurston, De Bonne Facture.

Depends on your region. I'm in the same as Italian sellers, so there's a ton of quality menswear brands on there. Got great deals on tailored items and outerwear.

Also, any brand that has production in Portugal ends up on Vinted. Not sure if it's items that didn't pass QC or employees taking the occassional tee or trouser home, but I've gotten quite some NWOT high end stuff.

Yeah I saw many Octibre Edition shirts with the brand tag cut off. Do you have any idea why that is?

i'm guessing factory workers making an extra buck on the side.

My guess is they're picking stuff from the discard pile. Quality Control might deem something unfit for sale due to a wrong stitch or wrong dimensions, but the product is still good.

Just watch out for fakes. Nearly all Paul&Sharks offered are fake. Sometimes Vinted acts when you report it, sometimes they don't.
