The Cudoni Way: Wear Designer, Sell It Back

Cudoni launched their marketplace to make buying and selling our designer goods so incredibly easy. Style bloggers Hel and Mel are the first to take an exclusive look and have picked out their favourite pieces.

A FASHIONISTA’S DREAM COME TRUE

In today’s fast-paced world of social media fashion, no one wants to be seen in the same thing twice, yet few have the budget to buy luxury fashionable pieces for every trend or event. We are so excited to have discovered Cudoni, an online service that sells pre-owned luxury goods.

Environmentally and ethically conscious as well as trend driven, buying pre-loved items helps you combat clogging up the landfill sites. Reusing rather than buying new is the way forward and can be much kinder on the purse strings!

AT LAST, AN EASY WAY TO MAKE SPACE IN YOUR WARDROBE

Call it a spring clean or the KonMari method, but organising your home means some things have to go. Selling them on eBay is such a slog; taking pictures, listing the items, writing the description, only to then get the top bidder letting you down at the last minute or even worse, your designer bag ends up selling at only the reserve price! What a lot of effort and waste of time.

Cudoni takes all of that stress away. They collect the item for free, value it and do all the hard work of selling it for you. You simply get paid after the sale.

PREPARE FOR AUTUMN WITH HEL AND MEL

With the weather slowly descending from high heat to cooler evenings and heavy rain, we can feel autumn slipping into SW19. Get ready for warmer colour pallets and more layers within your outfits. Jumpers and jackets are becoming more popular, as well as Gucci’s 2018 collection of cardigans which are a quarter of the price on Cudoni! This beautiful beige trench coat by Alaïa could be matched with anything from a classic Burberry scarf to some brown suede boots.

A WAY TO SHOP MORE SUSTAINABLY

Buying your items second hand is one of the most sustainable ways to shop as no new resources are needed. Slow fashion is the deliberate choice to buy better quality items less often.

It’s a hassle-free attentive service – perfect for the busy person and extremely convenient as they come to your house and pick the items up. With regular updates on selling, from your personal sales rep.

HEL AND MEL’S MUST-HAVE ACCESSORIES

Let’s not forget that you can’t have a complete outfit without the right accessories. Here are some accessories from Cudoni that never go out fo style and could be worn in any season. Turn heads and make every woman want to be you with these Christian Louboutin heels! This elegant scarf from Hermès is also a must-have. Make a simple handbag pop by tying it around the handle, or wrap it around your neck to brighten up your outfit.
