About The Platforms

What is The Vintage Bar and Miinto?

The Vintage Bar is a Scandinavian luxury vintage resale marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of premium pre-owned fashion from around the world. Founded in Denmark, it has grown into the leading secondhand platform for luxury vintage fashion in Scandinavia, with a community of over 200,000 members and a curated selection of pieces from Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Dior, Gucci, and more. Every item listed on the platform is approved by The Vintage Bar's team before going live, maintaining the quality standards that attract serious luxury buyers.

Miinto is one of the largest fashion marketplaces in Europe, with around 2 million unique monthly visitors. It operates across 13 European markets and is the parent company of The Vintage Bar. For professional resellers, this relationship is the most important thing to understand: listing on The Vintage Bar also gives your pre-owned inventory visibility on Miinto's platform simultaneously. One application, one back office, two audiences.

How It Works

How Do The Vintage Bar and Miinto Work?

The two platforms operate separately but share operational infrastructure. Here's how each one works for professional sellers:

The Vintage Bar

Sign up, upload photos, and describe your items. The Vintage Bar's team reviews each listing before it goes live. Once an item sells, they provide a prepaid shipping label. The team carries out quality control before the item is shipped to the buyer.

Professional Boutique sellers apply separately and gain access to an expanded set of tools, promotional features, and visibility across both platforms.

Commission for professional sellers is negotiated individually. Expect approximately 15% as a starting point.

Miinto

Miinto is a curated fashion marketplace, not a peer-to-peer resale platform. Professional sellers apply to list via Miinto's seller portal or through integration partners.

Products live across 13 European markets simultaneously. Miinto handles the buyer-facing experience in each market, including localised pricing, language, and checkout.

Commission ranges from 20% to 24% per sale, plus a monthly subscription fee of approximately €149.

For most professional resellers, the most efficient path is to apply to The Vintage Bar as a Boutique seller first. Once approved, your inventory becomes eligible for visibility on Miinto's pre-owned section automatically through the shared back office.

Selling Tips

Tips for Selling on The Vintage Bar and Miinto

The platform rewards curated, well-presented inventory from sellers who understand the Scandinavian luxury buyer.

01
Focus on Premium and Luxury Brands
The Vintage Bar's community actively searches for Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Dior, and Gucci. In-demand models — the Chanel Flap, LV Pochette, Dior Saddle, Bottega Veneta Pouch — move fastest. The platform handpicks its boutiques based on their ability to curate pieces that resonate with this audience.
02
Meet the Photography Standards
Every listing requires a minimum of five photos. Each piece is reviewed by The Vintage Bar's team before going live. Clear images of hardware, stitching, labels, date codes, and any wear are non-negotiable — they determine whether your listing is approved and how quickly it converts. Read our guide on managing one-of-a-kind pieces across platforms.
03
Price for the Scandinavian Market
Scandinavian luxury buyers are quality-conscious and willing to pay fair prices for well-described, well-photographed inventory. Research recently sold comparable listings before pricing. Avoid underpricing — the platform's buyer base associates price with quality more than most other marketplaces.
04
Leverage the Miinto Network Proactively
Once your inventory is live on The Vintage Bar, confirm that your pre-owned listings are also appearing on Miinto's platform. The 13-market reach is the most compelling reason to sell on this integration — make sure you're capturing it.
05
Ship Fast and Confirm Promptly
The Vintage Bar provides prepaid shipping labels once a sale is confirmed. Ship promptly, package securely, and include all original accessories and authentication cards where possible. Your Boutique standing depends on seller performance metrics.
