I. What is Depop?

Depop is a global peer-to-peer marketplace that blends social media with e-commerce, often described as a hybrid of Instagram and eBay. It is hugely popular with Gen Z and Millennials, who use it to buy and sell unique, vintage, pre-loved, and upcycled fashion items directly from each other.

The platform champions circular fashion and offers access to niche, independent, and high-demand sustainable styles that are often unavailable in local retail stores.

II. Popular Categories on Depop

Depop is known for its curated aesthetic, making certain categories highly sought after:

• Vintage & Y2K Fashion: Items from the 90s and early 2000s (Y2K) aesthetics, including oversized tees, flared trousers, and retro branded sportswear.
• Custom & Reworked Items: Unique garments that have been handmade or altered by sellers, providing shoppers with one-of-a-kind statement pieces.
• Streetwear & Sneakers: Exclusive drops, hype brands, and limited edition sneakers, often bought and sold near retail price after being lightly worn.
• Jewelry & Accessories: Focus on unique, handmade, or chunky retro jewelry pieces that perfectly complement the vintage fashion trend.

III. Does Depop Ship to the Philippines?

While Depop is a global platform, most sellers manage their own shipping and primarily ship only within their home country (like the US, UK, or Australia) or to a handful of major international regions.

Therefore, direct shipping to the Philippines is often unavailable, inconsistent, or prohibitively expensive. The best way for Filipinos shoppers to access the widest selection of Depop items is by using Buy&Ship’s international freight forwarding or consolidation service that provides you with an overseas shipping address.
