About Us
Vintage Wholesale Europe was founded in 2018 with the goal of making vintage stock sourcing as seamless as possible. Our journey actually began in 2016, when we started reselling vintage treasures online as a side hustle. However, we struggled to invest confidently because we couldn't find a vintage wholesale supplier willing to work with small buyers like us. At the time, we spent countless hours thrifting in small second-hand stores, often coming home with just a handful of pieces to resell.
We tried a few physical handpicks, but the prices were too high, and the stock quality wasn’t what we had hoped for. One evening, we asked ourselves: What if we started buying vintage stock in bulk and reselling it to people just like us that are passionate about vintage fashion and looking for reliable, fairly priced stock? That’s when the idea for Vintage Wholesale Europe was born.
To create a trustworthy wholesale supplier that could help others get the right stock at the right price, just as we had wished someone had done for us.
Today, we are proud to supply thousands of small resellers and hundreds of retail and online stores. We’ve built one of the most trusted wholesale businesses in the industry. Notice that we didn’t say biggest and that’s intentional. We’d rather remain a company that stays true to its values than chase size at the expense of quality. Our core mission has always been, and will always be, to help resellers, both big or small, access the best vintage products at the best prices. This is what we’ve been dedicated to for the past seven years, and what drives us forward is knowing that we’re only just getting started.
Follow our journey, and you’ll see continuous improvements in stock quality, customer service, pricing, shipping times, and more.
