Did you know that Lily Allen has a Depop? That’s right, the pop starlet lists dispatches from her wardrobe including trainers, tracksuits and faux fur coats to an audience of 51,000 followers. Anyone can nab a piece of celebrity wardrobe for as little as €30.

I have a confession. I’ve never really tuned into Depop. As a 34-year-old who spent much of my twenties with my head buried in a vintage bin, sifting through a mound of costume jewellery and well-worn chinoiserie, I have slightly surprised myself with this statement.
