1. Lululemon Athletica
A top-selling brand on Poshmark, Lululemon was founded in 1998 in Vancouver, Canada, and offers technical athletic apparel for yoga, running, training, and most other “sweaty pursuits”. Their vision is to create a “community hub where people should learn and discuss the physical aspects of healthy living, mindfulness, and living a life of possibility”. The brand is involved in global philanthropic efforts with the United Nations, battered women organizations, and the Center for Peace and Justice, among others. Through an Impact Agenda, the company sponsors sustainability, a responsible supply chain, and ecological well-being. Lululemon’s core values are personal responsibility, entrepreneurship, honesty, courage, connection, fun, and inclusion, and their Global Well-Being Report promotes inclusion, diversity, and pay equity.
Fun Fact: Lululemon adds new items to their website on Tuesday evenings around 6:15 pm EST / 3:15 pm PST.
Their most popular-selling style is the lululemon align™ pant, which is a weightless and buttery-soft yoga pant. Powered by Nulu™ fabric, the leggings are sweat-wicking, stretchy, breathable, and perfect for low-impact workouts! Lululemon aligns™ are high quality, super comfortable, and incredibly flattering on all body types!
Reseller Tip: When listing Lululemon, be sure to find the exact style name and colorway of the item to maximize searchability and yield top- dollar. Here is a resource for helping you find the name (and stock photos) of a Lululemon item!
2. LoveShackFancy
“Inspired by vintage finds, LSF is rich in detail, flattering silhouettes, soft hues, and intricate lace, with an emphasis on whimsical hand-dyed fabrics and enchanting vintage-inspired romantic floral prints.” A newer brand launched in 2013, LoveShackFancy creates stunning, feminine, and sophisticated pieces with exceptional quality and exceptionally high prices.
On Poshmark, LSF pieces sell quickly, with the most popular sold trends being dresses, blouses, and sweaters.
Reseller Tip: While LoveShackFancy collabs (such as the collection for Target) still yield a nice profit, they are not as desirable as the pieces from their main collection.
3. Free People
Free People is known for stunning bohemian fashion incorporating both the latest trends and vintage vibes, inspired by creativity, art, music, and travel. The brand originated in the 1970s as a storefront in Philadelphia, which rapidly grew into Urban Outfitters. The modern Free People is a private label wholesale line under Urban Outfitters. It is a contemporary collection designed to inspire the intelligence, creativity, individuality and self-expression of women while retaining quality and affordability. The line features imaginatively designed colors and patterns on sweaters, knits, skirts, and accessories.
Fun Fact: Free People is sold at Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Nordstrom Rack, Revolve, Macy’s, Dillard’s, Bloomingdales, and Buckle- to name a few!
The brand seeks to provide an enriched lifestyle, hosting community events, wellness classes, workshops, and group travel experiences aimed at inspiring connection among women. In partnership with many non-profit partners including Girls, Inc., Free People promotes female enrichment and empowerment.
Reseller Tip: Free People is loved by everyone, but be sure to closely research resale value, as specific items can be quite over-saturated on reselling platforms! Some Free People pieces can yield hundreds, and others will not sell for much at all. Always look at comps!
