Lately I was reading an article about Bitcoins and how you can use them to buy all kinds of things, from webhosting to VPN access. I thought the system was interesting but that it couldn't have anything to do with fashion since it seemed like a serious kind of thing.
After looking around for articles about Bitcoins related shops online I stumbled upon The Bitcoin Wardrobe , which seemed way more my style than any other shop selling clothes in exchange for BTC . So, is this some weirdo trying to make his own little economy by selling second hand clothing? Not at all!
The person behind this project is actually two very talented people, Kim and Daniele (you can read their story here ). They're travelling through Europe with a backpack and a bicycle and they're selling their clothes to finance that journey.
Now, after I've seen the clothes on the site of The Bitcoin Wardrobe I understood why: you can't get better than this kind of fashion! This is vintage style at its best and the prices are more than affordable . They're currently selling two kinds of items: men's casual clothing (for example sweaters) and women's formal dresses (for example sexy party dresses). Their stock changes all the time but right now you can find amazing items like a pair of studded high heels for 45 litecoins (about 7€/6$), a beautiful dress that will make every figure look good for 59 litecoins9€/7$) and a men's fur coat for 96 litecoins (about 15€/13$).
How does this work? It's pretty simple. You choose the article you want, check out the Bitcoin price with one of their Bitcoin calculators and pay by Bitcoin from your wallet to theirs with no intermediary service. Easy as pie!
The Bitcoin Wardrobe seems like a very honest business because these guys are not trying to rip people off or sell items that don't belong to them: they're simply selling all their stuff before they go on travelling, just like we would do if we had the chance of going through Europe without paying for accommodation and food. All proceeds go directly towards financing their trip and more than 70% of each sale goes into
