NEW: Now everyone on Curtsy can shop Clear Out Lots 🛍

The wait is over! Everyone can now bid on “lots” of 3+ highly discounted items from the same seller.

Say Hello to Curtsy Clear Outs: The Ultimate Shopping Hack!

We’re thrilled to announce that everyone can now shop Curtsy Clear Outs! You can now shop bulk lots of 3+ clothing items at a discount, and pay only one shipping price. That’s right, it’s your time to score big on fashion deals and upgrade your thrifting game with ease!

Compared with normal, single item listings that are available on the app until they sell, Clear Outs sell via auction over 7 days. Once the auction ends, the seller will ship the entire Clear Out in one shipment to the buyer with the winning bid.

How does bidding work?

To get started, simply tap ‘Place Bid’ on the Clear Out you’re interested in. From there, you’ll be able to place a single bid or choose the Autobid option. With Autobid, you choose your maximum bid and we’ll bid for you in $1 increments up to your max to help you win the auction. 

Don’t want to wait until the end of the auction? Tap “Buy It Now” to name your price & send an offer to the seller. Sellers have 48 hours to respond to your binding offer. If they accept, you win the lot!

Not ready to bid, but want to stay updated on the hype? Tap “Add To Watchlist” to be notified of new bids and when the auction is an hour from ending.

Read more on how Bidding works

We know you’ll love the convenience and affordability that Curtsy Clear Out brings, and we’re excited for you to experience it.  If you’d like more info, check out our FAQ page or send us a message in the app.

We’re always listening to your feedback and working to create features that you’ll love. We’d love to hear from you on how we can continue to improve ([email protected]). Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

Happy shopping!

No Seller Fees For the First Time Ever 💥#ReverseBlackFriday

We’re flipping the switch this Black Friday. To encourage cleanout over consumption, we’re waiving ALL seller fees on new items listed from Friday, Nov 25 through Sunday, Nov 27.

#ReverseBlackFriday

Over 85% of textiles produced end up in landfills. In America alone, that amounts to about 81 lbs of clothing per person, yearly. With Reverse Black Friday, we’ve envisioned a fun way to keep fashion out of landfills and help folks earn extra money for the holidays.

This is the perfect time to do something about that pile of clothes you don’t wear anymore… the ones that you’ve been meaning to do something about for months. List any item on Curtsy from Friday, Nov 25 through Sunday, Nov 27 with no seller fees.

Questions about Reverse Black Friday?

Check out our FAQ below or send us an email at [email protected].

  • When is the promotion? You can start listing items for zero seller fees anytime on November 25. All items must be listed by midnight November 27th to have no fees
  • What are seller fees normally? Our seller fees are $1 + 5% of sale price + 2.9% payment processing fee
  • Are seller fees waived for all items? Yes, all items that are typically allowed on Curtsy are included in this promotion. You can read our Seller FAQ to learn more about what items we allow on Curtsy
  • What if the item sells after the promotion ends? If you list an item from Nov 25 through Nov 27, it won’t ever have seller fees, no matter when it sells
  • Are you also doing a typical Black Friday sale? To encourage cleanout over consumption, our only Black Friday promotion is to waive seller fees 11.25 – 11.27 🙂
  • Is there a limit to the amount I can post? Nope! You can post as many items as you’d like
  • Do I need to do anything to get no seller fees? Nope! As long as you list your items from Nov 25 through Nov 27, your items will automatically have zero seller fees
  • Does this affect the items I already have listed on Curtsy? Our Black Friday promotion is only for new items listed on Curtsy and does not affect any items you already have listed
  • Can I make drafts before Friday Nov 25 to post during the promotion? Any draft made before Friday Nov 25 will still have seller fees.

Happy listing!

Today we’re launching Try Ons: It’s like TikTok for resale

Try Ons are a new way to shop and sell with video. Scroll, shop, and list videos, seamlessly in the app.

Read WWD’s feature story about Curtsy’s new Try On feature: https://wwd.com/business-news/technology/curtsy-video-fashion-resale-1235293389/

We believe the future of resale is video

Shopping resale and selling your clothes online shouldn’t be hard. Try Ons create a unique way for sellers to show their clothes in action, letting buyers easily see all the details of the item.

We’re launching Try Ons because we believe it’s a faster way to post items, and, they’ll sell sooner because buyers can easily see the material and fit of items. 

While a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a thousand pictures.

How Do Try Ons Work?

When you post your item, you’ll see a new Try On option to add a video to your listing, alongside the current photos option. You can list an item with photos, a Try On video, or you can add both!

The best way to show your item is to model it so buyers can see how the item fits. You can also show the item on a hanger, or a simple surface, if you don’t want to model it. This works well for things like sneakers, accessories, or any items that no longer fit!

Pro tips for taking videos

  • Make sure the item is in full view
  • Good lighting is key so you can see the item clearly
  • Include a clip showing any damage or flaws
  • Zoom in on the item to show details and multiple angles

Here’s what our users are saying

We’re so excited to share this feature and hope you have as much fun using it as we did creating it. If you’d like more info, watch our video or send us a message in the app. 

We know the Try On feature may not be perfect from day one, so we’d love to hear from you on how we can continue to improve it ([email protected]).

We’re excited for your feedback!

Cheers 🥰

Curtsy 2022 Fashion Trend Predictions: 6 Styles to Shop

We have to admit, 2021 served us some iconic styles and vibes. From cottagecore to coconut girl, shackets and baguette bags. Will 2022 fashion trends dare to be as bold? Will she do it? We’ve rounded up styles we’re predicting will be seen everywhere this year. And yes, they’re pretty iconic!  

Being in the business of fashion, we’re always looking out for current and upcoming styles to make sure we offer them to you on Curtsy. We check in with top searches and what our favorite influencers and trendsetters are wearing.

Scroll for the inside scoop on what 2022 fashion trends we’re seeing – from Pearlcore, to the year’s hottest heels, and a blast from the past. See a trend you’re ready to try? We give you styling tips and keywords to search to make it yours.

2022 fashion trend walk on the wild side
women wearing fashion trends sherpa coats, fur jackets, feather sleeves

For 2022 the details get fuzzy. Channel your inner animal by wearing fur…faux fur of course. (No animals were harmed in the making of this trend.) And in an exciting twist – the faux details aren’t reserved for winter coats. We’re obsessed with dresses and shirts flocked with feathers.  

🔎 Search for keywords: sherpa coats, fur jackets, feather sleeves, ostrich feather, feather trim, fur trim

2022 fashion trend Emily in Paris

We’re taking style inspo from our favorite American in Paris 🥐. This trend is Parisian sophistication meets bold glamour. Elevate your ‘fits with prim and proper accessories and embellishments like bows, opera gloves and statement tights. You’ll feel like you’re in Paris, without the jetlag.

🔎 Search for keywords: opera gloves, berets, lace tights, bow hair clips, bright pink, metallic shoes, statement coat, leather gloves, loafers

2022 fashion trend warm in style
women wearing 2022 fashion trends plaid scarves, Acne studios scarf, puffer, layering, quilted jacket

Thanks to this pandemic we started to look for comfort in our style. The obsession stuck and now we can’t get enough of items that have us feeling cozy. As temps get lower so do coats and pant legs. Floor-grazing puffers and quilted fabrics have us finally feeling comfy in the cold. The cozier the style the better.

🔎 Search for keywords: Acne studios scarves, plaid scarves, quilted jacket, puffer, button ups, turtlenecks, vests, vintage sweaters, crew neck sweater

Polish off your look with investment pieces like uniquely shaped designer bags or shiny objects like pearls.

Shop for pearl-embellished straps or go crazy with a top entirely beaded with pearls and rhinestones.

Here Are The Top 5 Myths That Keep You From Selling Your Clothes

“I don’t have time”

Time is money, honey! Selling on Curtsy will make you money, and it’s easy as pie. Or cake.

Seriously, we’re the only app that sends you shipping supplies so you can skip the post office, and tells you exactly how to price your stuff. Posting takes 30 seconds.

“People aren’t going to buy my clothes.”

Not with that attitude! Our best-selling brands are those you’d find at the mall, or your fave online stores: Free People, Lululemon, Revolve, Nordstrom, etc.

If you bought it in the last few years from a recognizable brand, someone will buy it on Curtsy!

“I’m going to wear those clothes again.”

Girl you’re not fooling anyone! You know that dress you bought for freshman year HOCO or that random bach party isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

You might as well make some money and give those items a second life.

“I don’t have enough followers.”

Phew! We’re like the only app where you don’t have to be an influencer these days. We use machine-learning and AI to show relevant clothes to shoppers.

All you do is post, and then your items sell. Like magic.

“I’ll sell when I … (move, graduate, etc.)”

Ahem, Marie Kondo does NOT approve. There’s a new way of living and it’s called: one in, one out!  Every time you buy a new outfit, post an old one on Curtsy.

You’ll have less stress, more space, and more money to spend on things that make you happy.

A New Look For Curtsy

curtsy-gal

Quick announcement: We have a new look!

The “goddess,” as we like to call her, is back and better than ever. Her hand is on her hip as if to say “I’m a #Girlboss.” She’s got her hair up because she’s en route to a formal and she’s classy like that.

A company’s brand is a continual work in progress—this is our second draft.

Look out for the Curtsy Goddess coming soon to a school near you!
