Declutter your closet, take a photo, use the app, send it off, and earn money—this convenient reseller solution is what “momox fashion” promises for selling secondhand clothing. Our author tested how well the platform actually works, whether it’s worth it, or if you should consider alternatives.
Hand on heart: When was the last time you stumbled upon an item in your closet that you haven’t worn in at least two years and have no intention of ever wearing again? Everyone has such closet relics. While some regularly declutter and donate their worn-out skirts, pants, and more to clothing collections, others try their luck with resale. After all, secondhand is booming. Online platforms such as “Vinted,” “Sellpy,” or “momox fashion” make it easier than ever to discover used treasures from home and give your own former favorite pieces a new home.
But where can you make the most money with old clothes, and how easy is it? STYLEBOOK author Sabine Winkler took a closer look at the platform Momox and sold her sorted-out clothes there–or rather, she tried to.
Overview
Selling Clothes on Momox – How the Platform Works
In theory, selling is uncomplicated and easy. On the website or app, you enter the brand, category, and condition of the items and immediately receive a price offer. The items are then placed in the so-called “sales box.” If you agree to Momox’s offer, you send your clothes for free using a shipping label.
After an on-site quality check, the amount is transferred directly to your account. Important: Momox only buys selected brands and well-preserved clothing–heavily worn or damaged items are rejected. The return shipping must then be paid by the seller, meaning you, and that costs four euros. Alternatively, Momox also offers to dispose of the clothing for free. Sounds simple, but is it still that way in practice?
Selling Secondhand Fashion Online: Momox in the Test
For years, I’ve been using the app “Vinted” to give my sorted-out textiles a new home. It works relatively well, but I also have some items in the virtual closet that haven’t found a buyer in ages. Additionally, what other users are willing to pay for a wool coat that originally cost 120 euros is often anything but fair. I haven’t used other online platforms so far. Maybe the proceeds at Momox are better than at Vinted, formerly Kleiderkreisel? Let’s see.
So, I download the app and am initially pleasantly surprised by the very easy use and clear design. From the home screen, I choose whether I want to sell women’s, men’s, girls’, or boys’ clothing. Then I can select the type of clothing item, such as a dress, shoes, or pants.
My first test object is a red sequin mini dress from Mango that no longer fits me well. It originally cost 60 euros. But when I type in the brand “Mango” after selecting the dress category, I face the first disappointment. A message appears: “Unfortunately, we are not currently buying this item.”
Zara, Guess, or Ralph Lauren? Which Brands Are Worth It
This happens to me with several other clothing items, mainly with brands from the lower and middle price segments like H&M or Reversed. My first “hit” is with a denim jacket from Zara. It once cost me about 45 euros, and now Momox wants to offer me a fixed price of 3.34 euros for it. I decline. As a test, I run the application with clothing items I don’t actually want to get rid of but are from high-priced brands.
A red satin midi pleated skirt from Lauren by Ralph Lauren would be bought by Momox–but for a mere 10.21 euros. When I check online to see how much such a skirt sells for, I find it resells for between 40 and 60 euros. Of course, the purchase must be profitable for Momox and yield a margin. But the price range is astonishing.
Even a men’s corduroy shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren from last winter’s collection would bring just 10.34 euros. A baby dress from Tommy Hilfiger brings only 6.90 euros, and a corduroy skirt from Levis from the spring collection 25 still brings 9.27 euros–even though the tag was still on it. I had imagined it differently.
Momox Fashion – How Shipping and Payment Work
Finally, I decide to send in a black mini dress from Zara with a back zipper and star pattern–for which I get just 1.83 euros. However, I then stumble upon the next hurdle: I must reach a minimum sales value of ten euros to send something for free. So, I scan my Vinted storage bag with the Momox app until I reach the minimum value thanks to Zara and Mango sweaters and some baby clothes, which also bring small amounts.
Subsequently, a free shipping label is created, and I have the choice between Hermes and DHL. I choose the latter. Then the shipping bag goes to the packing station. According to the website, it takes about two to four business days after the package arrives at Momox for the goods to be inspected. I receive an email after a total of four days that the inspection is complete and a payment has been initiated. Three days later, the money actually lands in my account.

My Experiences with Momox
Would I do it again? Frankly, I don’t think so. While the app was super easy to use, and the shipping process and handling were simple, transparent, and worked without issues, I am neither satisfied with the price nor the associated effort. What annoyed me most was that so many items weren’t even considered. Designer brands are usually accepted without problems, and baby clothes have quite a high demand.
For my part, I prefer to wait until my items find a buyer on Vinted or participate in flea markets and clothing swap events. I get more for my secondhand fashion there and can–in my opinion–also find fairer prices. However, if you really want to declutter your closet, want it to be very easy, and don’t care much about how much money you make, you can try your luck with Momox. The value of a fixed purchase price is something everyone must assess for themselves. In the end, I would rather donate the clothes to a thrift store.
