“Dearly Preloved is the most extraordinarily wonderful fantasy come to life: a company that will take your much loved old clothes (and those less-loved regret purchases) and not only find them the most wonderful new homes but also find you some serious money. And yes, many other companies and websites promise to do this, but NONE will do it with such ease, flair and joy as Dearly Preloved. The founder, Polly, has the best taste and the best connections. She has made unburdening my wardrobe simple, lucrative and fun. I am evangelical about selling with her: Dearly Preloved is balm for your soul; salve for the planet; and cash for your pocket.

Hurrah for Polly!”

“Huge well done on the event, what a gig you pulled off! The amount of effort you put in was really evident and it was a great pleasure as both buyer and seller.

Thank you!”

Dearly Preloved makes shopping preloved fashion and accessories a wonderful in-person experience. Stock is beautifully curated by founder Polly, who is on hand to offer advice and make suggestions as to items you might like to try/consider. Everything is in wonderful condition and so many pieces I have seen at the sales are from recent collections. I managed to bag a jumper I had wanted from a brand, but couldn’t quite justify at the time. Cut to a recent DPL sale and there it was waiting for me on the rail and at a (great) price I was happy to pay! I really do think this is the future of shopping in a considered, and yet fun and affordable, way. x

‘I’ve been a big fan of Dearly Preloved from the very start - both buying and selling. Polly makes the whole process so easy and her eye for great clothes is second to none. The sales events are really very fun - like a spoiling night out with friends! I absolutely love the vibe: it’s like going shopping with a big gang of girlfriends, even if you don’t know anyone there. I’m always guaranteed to find so many things I want to buy! Selling through Dearly Preloved has also been brilliant. I’ve made some proper money (Polly prices things sensibly and takes a smaller commission than most companies) from stuff that’s just been sitting in my wardrobe unworn and unloved. It feels really nice knowing that the pieces now have new homes! Well done Polly for creating such a great shopping experience.’
