Relovv

Relovv sounds good in theory. Sustainable? Great. Here's the thing: for anything of value, it's highly unlikely you'll get anything near the item's value. For things from Forever21 or Old Navy, you're probably paying nearly as much as you would in store. The problem with the idea of sustainability in the US fashion industry is that for it to be genuinely sustainable, the consumer must change the way they think about clothing. That means purchasing more expensive, classic items that they'll wear for yearsnot by season. I'm not against trendy clothing or mixing inexpensive & trendy pieces with classics to change up a look. My point is, buying secondhand Forever21 which you could easily find at any thrift store just doesn't make sense. Then there's the breakdown of cost: Relovv expects that you'll mark everything down go well below retail. While it asks What would you like to earn?' it doesn't allow you to choose if you're not within those guidelines. As someone who owns designer clothing almost entirely, I'm not listing a pair of unworn shoes that were $495 for a fraction because I forgot to return them. Yes, I expect they'll go for less, but people wouldn't even pay $125. Simply put? I cancelled my account. Maybe this platform works for some people, but as a whole, I strongly believe it's mostly lip service to a reasonable concept that has been poorly executed in the grand scheme of things. Both buyer & seller are generally likely to do better at a yard sale than on relovv.
