When someone complements you on an item of clothing and it’s second hand from Vinted or the charity shops, do you keep quiet and say thanks or tell them and how much it cost?

I tend to tell people how much it was and where from.

I usually say something like: oh thanks it’s x brand, and I got it on Vinted for a bargain!

I always tell the truth.

I always tell the truth about where my clothes come from.
I think it's important for people to realise that charity shops, eBay and Vinted are good resources.

Recycling is nothing to be ashamed of.

I’ll always say it’s from Vinted/second hand, I’m happy to have got a bargain.

Loud and proud of buying second-hand. I love getting a bargain so will tell people if they ask.

Why pretend that you have bought the item from a shop? Don't see the point in lying about something like this.

I will always say. I'm not ashamed of being a good bargain hunter at all!

I get a lot of compliments on my clothing - people now say, let me guess charity shop!?

I always tell them, as I'm always very proud of my bargains and love when people ask.

I suppose it depends who's asking. I get a lot from Charity shops and Vinted and will happily tell work friends and family who ask. I have a group of friends who I know through my child however who are very image conscious and so I probably wouldn't tell them, I'd just say thanks if they complimented an outfit!

I am not ashamed of my charity shop bargains, far from it. Times have changed and I think it’s a flex to say that you got it from Vinted etc.

Always just the truth. I don’t know anyone who would be impressed by a fabrication.

Plus I’m hopeless at buying clothes for me on Vinted so always impressed when friends find great stuff for next to nothing.

If they ask where I got it from, I will tell them. If they don't, I don't bother.

I'll say eBay/Vinted/Charity shop if that's where I got an item from. Probably wouldn't say the exact price though, that would be overly specific.

Tell them! 90% of my DD’s clothes and all of her shoes/boots are from charity shops and she looks amazing (about 50% are from US thrift/charity shops).

I'm yet to buy anything from a selling platform but I think it would depend who the person was . Family/ friend just tell . Maybe work colleague / friend of friend etc just the label .

Why, though? What difference does it make?

I just say thanks.

Im happy to tell if any one asks.

When Icompliment somone about a nice dress I dont need or want the low down of where it was from, how much it costs or if it has pockets. All I'm saying is that I like your dress, dont bore me with unnecessary details. I dont care.

The only reason I would lie would be if I was somehow embarrassed about buying second hand clothes and I'm not... are you OP?

If someone says they like something I’m wearing I say “Thanks, I got it off Vinted” and if I admire something someone else is wearing they tend to say that too!

It wouldn’t occur to me to tell them how much it cost…I just don’t think people are that interested and are only complimenting to be nice really.
however I will often reply with “thanks, another Vinted bargain!!” Which often opens up a more general conversation.

I love telling people I got my outfit from Vinted because it’s true. I have gone from a size 14 to an 8/10 so Vinted has allowed me to refresh my entire wardrobe. I have bought LOADS and it’s fantastic. I rave about it.

Yes I would say proudly that I got it from Vinted/Ebay. Textile pollution from fast fashion is a huge problem so buying good quality second hand stuff is a good thing. If you inspire others to try the same, even better.

I tell them it’s M&S ( or whatever) and I bought it from vinted.

I think it’s the law to say when something is a bargain where you got it. Followed by whether it has pockets or not.

I’m compelled to share my bargains
