Vintage by the Kilo: How a KiloBox Works for Vinted Resellers in 2026
Share
If you're getting into vintage reselling on Vinted or Depop, you've probably come across the term vintage by the kilo. KiloBoxes have become the go-to format for resellers across the UK and Europe — but how do they actually work, and which one's right for you?
This is the no-drama guide. We'll cover what's inside a KiloBox, what Grade A and Grade B really mean, the brands you can expect, and how to pick the box that matches your reselling business.
What Is a Vintage KiloBox?
A KiloBox is a pre-sorted lot of vintage and pre-loved clothing sold by weight rather than per piece. Instead of paying £20 for a single jumper, you buy 5kg, 10kg or 20kg of curated vintage at a fixed price per kilo.
The contents are hand-picked by us — sorted, graded, and packed before shipping. You get a mix of jeans, hoodies, denim jackets, sweatshirts, polo shirts, and more, all from real vintage suppliers in Europe. No warehouse junk, no unsellable items.
Why Buy Vintage by the Kilo?
The maths is simple. A typical 10kg KiloBox contains roughly 30–40 pieces. That brings your cost per item down to a few pounds — well below what you'd pay buying singles from charity shops or other resellers.
- Real margin for resellers: With Grade A pieces selling on Vinted at £15–£40, the markup speaks for itself.
- Variety in every box: Brands, decades, and styles you couldn't curate yourself in weeks of charity shop sourcing.
- Lower environmental impact: Buying pre-loved keeps clothes out of landfill — and the circular fashion story plays well with your Vinted buyers too.
- One-stop sourcing: No more chasing car boot sales or scrolling Vinted for three hours hunting for stock.
Grade A vs Grade B: What's the Difference?
Not all KiloBoxes are equal. Industry-standard grading splits stock into:
- Grade A: Excellent condition. Clean, no major defects, ready to photograph and list straight away. The right choice if you're reselling on Vinted, Depop or eBay and want minimum prep time.
- Grade B: Minor flaws — small stains, light wear, the odd missing button. Cheaper per kilo, but expect to do some sorting, washing or basic repairs. Best for experienced resellers who can handle a higher discard rate.

Depends on the box you choose. Here's the quick breakdown of what we run at WintageClub:
