Vinted, founded in Vilnius, Lithuania, exemplifies strategic flexibility and creative brand development in the dynamic fashion business. Pavarini (2020) thoroughly examines Vinted's trajectory and sheds insight on its ascent in the online second-hand clothing market. This study uses the PESTEL framework and Porter's Five Forces as analytical tools to explore deeper. Using these frameworks requires understanding the interaction of competitive pressures and macroenvironmental factors that influenced Vinted's rise. Vinted's market dominance resulted from a complex web of choices, reactions, and brand building explored in this paper.
