Hunting for cash in your closet. Here are the 2000s brands that buyers chase on Vinted, with practical tips to price smart and avoid costly mistakes.
That velour tracksuit, the logo tee, the low rise denim at the back of the drawer could be worth far more than expected. Vinted’s Y2K surge has turned early 2000s labels into fast sellers, and some pieces now command three figures when condition and rarity line up.
The backdrop helps. The thredUP 2024 Resale Report projects the US secondhand market to hit 73 billion dollars by 2028, after growing 11 percent in 2023 compared with 2022. Vinted said in 2024 that its community passed 100 million members across its markets. Add Gen Z searching for Y2K looks, highlighted in Depop’s 2023 trend report, and demand meets nostalgia at scale.
Why 2000s brands are spiking on Vinted
Scarcity plays first. Many Y2K pieces were bought, worn hard, then vanished. Clean examples look fresh again and feel authentic next to modern reissues.
Pop culture keeps pushing. Celebrity archives, early 2000s runway revivals and the constant scroll of outfit videos signal exactly which logos and silhouettes are hot right now.
Price gaps matter. When a reissue is expensive at retail, buyers pivot to the original on resale. That arbitrage effect repeatedly lifts the best vintage or archive items.

How to check value and avoid mistakes on Vinted
Start with comps. Search the exact item name and filter by sold or reserved pieces on Vinted, then cross check with completed listings on eBay and recent asks on Vestiaire Collective to triangulate value.
Date the piece. Read inner labels, fabric tags and care codes. For denim, note rise, inseam and hem width and measure flat. For bags, photograph logos, zips and lining so buyers can validate details without asking.
Authenticate the easy wins. For Juicy, look for heavy metal hardware and consistent embroidery. For Diesel, older Italy made lines often use thicker denim and precise stitching. For Von Dutch, trucker caps with early label fonts and robust mesh tend to perform better.
Be honest about wear. Faded prints, stretched waistbands, heel drag on jeans or peeling coatings cut price quickly. Clear daylight photos, inside and outside, reduce returns and raise trust.
Price with room. List slightly above the midrange of your comps and enable offers. Vinted’s buyer protection and shipping fees add to the cart total, so a small cushion helps both sides meet in the middle.
Where prices head next, and the smart move now
Resale keeps expanding. The thredUP 2024 report signals steady growth through 2028, which supports liquidity for the right 2000s pieces and rewards clean, well documented listings.
Trend rotation stays quick. Some micro trends fade in weeks, while core Y2K staples hold. Denim with distinctive early 2000s construction, authentic logo accessories and archive sportswear keep pulling views because they complete daily outfits, not just mood boards.
Action beats hesitation. Pull anything Y2K adjacent from storage, run a fast condition check, then create a listing with clear measurements and proof of authenticity. If demand is hot, watchers appear within hours. If it sits, revise the title using brand, model and year hints, and adjust price in small steps. That old tee might definetly surprise.
