About Depop

Depop is an online marketplace designed for buying, selling, and discovering unique fashion items, including designer pieces, vintage finds, streetwear, and sneakers. The platform operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace, allowing users to list their items for sale directly to other users. Depop generates revenue by taking a commission on each sale, which aligns the company's success with that of its sellers. The platform primarily targets younger consumers who value sustainability and often seek second-hand fashion items, making it an appealing option for those looking to reduce waste and support independent brands. Additionally, Depop fosters a sense of community among its users, encouraging interaction and connection, which enhances the buying and selling experience. This community-driven approach, along with its focus on unique and sustainable fashion, sets Depop apart from other online marketplaces.
