Hi everyone, I am making my big bohos debut today writing about one of my favorite websites, grailed.com. Grailed is similar to an online flea market where you can find clothes from anywhere for prices that you cannot afford. As a loser who enjoys looking at clothes he can’t afford during my classes, grailed is the perfect place to do that, so I can imagine what I could wear if I was employed at all. Grailed has done many wonders to the online clothing industry as an easy location for people to get second hand clothing that they would not be able to find at their normal thrift stores or flea markets. This has also come with a price due to the emergence of clothing resellers that buy clothes at thrift stores with the sole intention of reselling them for profit. Today, we will be covering the intricacies of grailed and the “cultural impact” that it has had.

Why Grailed

With the emergence of social media over the years and the rise of rampant consumerism stemming from the media we consume, Grailed is the perfect place for “fashion enthusiasts” to find pieces that they want for prices usually below retail. Unlike other online secondhand marketplaces like Depop, Grailed was designed to be a marketplace for designer clothes and streetwear. Grailed also presents itself as a place where you can sell your designer pieces to make money back from previous purchases on pieces that you might not want anymore. This is great news for the pair of Margelia GATs that have been rotting in your closet because some other loser out there is willing to get their hands on them. Having the option of selling the clothes in order to make money back is also a great option for those who buy clothes seeing some form of possible return. Due to how fashion seasons work, it also allows for pieces that are from past seasons to reenter the market and be worn by some other 15-year-old hype beast. The cycle of selling pieces and buying new ones fits todays social standards of consumerism and always keeping up with the latest fashion trends.
