Living in a tiny studio apartment, I didn’t have the space (or patience) to wait for my clothes to sell on Depop or Poshmark. Dropping them off at consignment shops wasn’t much better—I’d walk out feeling like I practically gave them away for free. So, I decided to try something different.

I rented a small retail space in San Francisco, called up a couple of friends, and we filled it with racks of clothes to sell. That one pop-up turned into another… and another. Before I knew it, SF Seconds grew into something bigger—now Seconds Markets is in over five cities, and counting!

Our events are all about giving people the chance to sell straight from their own wardrobes—no middleman, no markups. Sellers bring a rack of clothing, set their own prices, and keep 100% of what they make. Shoppers, on the other hand, get to score amazing secondhand finds directly from the source.

But what really sets us apart? We make sure our events are size-inclusive. Spaces are booked based on sizing, so no matter what, shoppers can find something that actually fits. As someone who’s 6 feet tall, I know the struggle of vintage shopping only to find a sea of XS tags—I wasn’t about to let that be the norm at our events.
