ThredUP is a platform that not only allows you to find upcycled gems from the comfort of your home but also facilitates the process of decluttering your closet while contributing to a circular economy. By diverting clothing from landfills, thredUP embodies sustainability in fashion.

The online shopping platform is the internet's largest thrift and consignment shop. Boasting an impressive catalog with 55,000 brands, offering up to 90% off the retail price, and processing a whopping 100,000 items daily. Furthermore, the platform has diverted 637 million pounds of carbon emissions, underlining its commitment to eco-friendly practices.

The size of thredUP's catalog might seem overwhelming, leaving some users feeling like they're searching for a needle in a haystack. However, Abby has shared a clever hack to navigate this vast virtual consignment warehouse without succumbing to search fatigue. The trick is simple.

Head to Google or your preferred search engine. Search for your desired item followed by "thredUP" (e.g., "Mini Skirt thredUP"). Now, click on a search result thumbnail that matches your item or catches your eye. Once on the thredUP site, explore the selected item and utilize the "You May Also Like" section to discover similar pieces.

By following this #thrifthack, you can efficiently narrow down the catalog, compare options, and make a conscious choice about which piece best suits your style. The hack not only simplifies the virtual thrifting experience but also enhances the joy of uncovering unique fashion finds.
