We’re here to make secondhand second nature

Our story

Our story

Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.
Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.
From everyday essentials to vintage and designer finds, Depop brings together a wide range of affordable styles in one place. It’s a marketplace where anyone can clear out their wardrobe or build a business, explore their style, and take part in a more circular way to shop.
What makes us different

What makes us different

Depop offers a breadth and depth of desirable fashion for everyone’s unique personal style. Reflecting a huge range of our community’s tastes, trends and inspirations, everyone can come to Depop and find something for them.
We make it easy to get started with buying and selling secondhand. Sellers can list items quickly and get them in front of people who share their taste. Buyers discover style through other people, with technology helping to match them with pieces they’ll love. That combination of people and technology is what sets Depop apart, and is key to its appeal.
No matter someone’s taste or style, there’s a place for it on Depop. By bringing people together around fashion on their own terms, Depop supports a more affordable, more sustainable way to shop—where value comes from finding what already exists.
Our history

Our history

Depop was founded as a social shopping app where readers of fashion and culture magazine PIG could buy items from the creatives featured. Today we’re an app and web-based peer-to-peer marketplace where millions of buyers and sellers come to explore their personal style.
Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.
