Gemma and Lizzie from Your Preloved Stories
“We’re passionate about making luxury fashion accessible to everyone. The playing field has changed, and we want to be part of that circularity, bringing the thrill back into shopping second-hand.” Supporting this more sustainable ethos, the duo have perfected the art of a first-class, hassle-free experience.

Your Preloved Stories has become a brand name in its own right. Hosting a vast collection of incredible, designer and premium high-street names, they’ve curated their own look and style by applying a discerning eye to what they sell. Expect an iconic selection of handbags from Gucci and Prada, one-off jewellery items from Cartier, top-quality knits from the likes of Annie Bing and Bella Freud, beautiful separates from Isabel Marant, Rag and Bone and Wyse London to statement, fun pieces from Rixo, Second Female and Sandro.
Honing in on their natural styling skills, Gemma and Lizzie inspire their 17,500 Instagram followers with regular reels and live broadcasts highlighting their new pieces.
“We have some items that come in and fly out the minute we post them online. It’s amazing because we know, in that moment, we’ve found something the seller no longer cherishes. But for its new owner, it’s a match made in heaven!”
