DISCOVER: COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS AND RESEARCH
vinted
Vinted is an online marketplace based in Lithuania for buying, selling and exchanging new or secondhand items, mainly clothing and accessories. I studied the design principles used throughout the app to see which elements could be applied to Revamp.
depop
Depop is an online marketplace used by more than 15 million registered users. It was originally started as a place to buy and sell clothes, like Poshmark or other online thrift stores – and while people still use it that way, it has also expanded into a place where people can set up online stores for their own brands, whether it’s clothes or something else. I analysed the design principles that work well on Depop to see which elements would work well on Revamp.
