Something for every wardrobe.
If you’ve ever scrolled through the Instagram page @depopdrama, you know how exhausting the platform can be. You could spend weeks searching for the piece of your dreams, only to find it’s been removed or sold to a higher bidder. The whole operation – searching, comparing, messaging – often feels like more hassle than a Y2K-style baby tee is worth.

Because of the plethora of active fashion sellers and buyers, a good Depop find is like winning the op shop lottery. It’s a platform where unknown names can become full-time fashion powerhouses from the comfort of their bedrooms.
The app requires a little luck and a lot of dedication, especially if you’re hoping to win big time. To help break down the local accounts to follow, we turned to the person who knows best. Below, Depop’s Trend and Category Manager Agustina Panzoni (@thealgorythm) shares her top picks.
