WWD Wednesday: Resee Vintage Clothing Website



The website Resee is a new take on the mixing of a magazine style with a vintage clothing online retailer. Sofia Bernardin of Chinese and Japanese Vogue and Sabrina Marshall of Self Service magazine were the creators of this refreshingly original idea.

“We found that there was no place to find great pieces,” said Bernardin. “I think you have a lot of Web sites out there right now that are focused either on purely vintage, or you have sites that are doing eBay style selling of second-hand clothes. And there was none we found that elegantly merged the two.”

The site features designer clothing, handbags, and shoes that are so relevant to today’s trends that it takes a second look to remember that they are vintage and second hand. Pieces featured on the website have been purchased from private collections as well as vintage stores. The display of the site is an art form itself, allowing you to filter selections by color and themes such as “Androgynous” and “Parisienne.”

There are images of the products similar to those that would be found on any retail website as well as editorial style photos that display the products on models and mixed into interesting backgrounds. The Find features special products and changes weekly; this week is an amazing vintage 1970s Saint Laurent cape. If you check out the website, also be sure to look at the inspiration page- currently showing images and product inspired by 1990s Miu Miu.
