Second hand gives you the opportunity to make amazing brand finds and invest in high-quality materials and design at a much lower price than buying new. Find out about our pricing and check out our examples to see how much you can really save!
Although many people would like to shop responsibly and buy high-quality and ecologically produced clothing, the most important factor influencing product choice is still the price (HS 22.5.). It’s understandable that when it comes to clothing purchases, sometimes economy has to come before quality factors. But why compromise on durability if you can get high-quality branded products for less?
Second hand is a great way to make quality choices at wallet-friendly prices. This way, in addition to affordability, you can also emphasize the choices that matter most to you, such as domestic production, quality, and responsibility. Even fans of design and fashion brands can get a stunning style second hand without wincing at price tags of hundreds of euros. When you buy clothes of good quality, they also stand the test of time, which means their resale value remains. This way, you can eventually sell them on to a new user, which is another financial win!
In addition to well-kept and like-new products, Emmy also receives completely new clothes and accessories for sale. With a selection of over 60,000 products, there is a huge range of high-quality and timeless branded items, often at prices significantly lower than the recommended retail price.
New products
"We often get products for sale that still have the price tags attached. New or like-new products also include outlet batches from our partner brands, which we receive from time to time. Unused, new products are always priced at least 20% lower than the price of a comparable new product. We aim to find the product’s recommended price or use the prices of similar products for evaluation," says Emmy’s product handler.
If you’re interested in new, unused products, you can search for completely new items in the entire selection by filtering the condition category to new.
Well-kept products
"For used products, we first carefully assess the condition of the item. The condition of the product has a significant impact on its pricing. Other factors affecting pricing are the desirability of the brand and the product’s current relevance. All products sold at Emmy are of good quality, and broken or dirty items are not sold," the product handler continues.
Therefore, at Emmy you may find higher-quality and more valuable items for much less money than at a store selling new products.
Discounts
Emmy always discounts products after three months on sale. First, products are discounted by 30%, and after five months on sale, by 50% off the original sale price. Finally, products that have been on sale for six months are included in Emmy’s super popular Flat Price Days, where you can make incredible finds for just a little money. Flat Price Days are held a few times a year – follow Emmy’s communications to know when!
In addition, there are selection-specific discount campaigns, during which the percentages can vary between 20 and 40. Campaign discounts work with an online store discount code and are calculated from the current sale price of the products. The code discount also applies to already discounted products. This way, you can save up to 80–90% compared to the price of a new product!
