About The Jaunty Spot

Never Just Another.

The Jaunty Spot is a Lagos home for curated preloved boots, shoes and fashion. Every piece is one of one, measured by hand and described honestly, and the whole shop is organised around who you are rather than what is trending.

One of oneEvery piece exists once. When it is gone, it is gone.
Measured by handCentimetres on every page, so you know it fits.
Flaws photographedWe show wear honestly, never angle around it.
7-day returnsIf it is not right, we would rather sort it out.

People don’t really shop for clothes. They shop for who they want to walk in as.

The Jaunty Spot is a conscious fashion resale platform based in Lagos. We find preloved boots, shoes and fashion worth keeping, check each piece before it reaches you, and give it a second life with someone who will actually wear it.

Most shops sort everything by category and leave you to scroll. We start somewhere different. We think the way you dress is a way of showing up, so we sort the shop by identity first. Tell us how you like to arrive, and we show you the pieces that already sound like you.

It is a calmer, more personal way to shop, and a better life for good clothes that still have plenty left to give.

How it works

From first look to your door, in four steps.

  1. Find your identity

    Take the short quiz, or choose one yourself. It sets the rail you see, and you can save your sizes once so it filters itself.

  2. Browse your rail

    See pieces that belong to your identity first, with photos, measurements and condition on every page. Save favourites to your wishlist.

  3. Select your pieces

    Add what you want to your selection and send it to us. Nothing is charged online.

  4. Confirm and receive

    We reach you on WhatsApp to confirm your pieces, the exact delivery fee and payment, then deliver to your door in Lagos.

The Jaunty standard

Here is what you can count on with every piece.

Chosen by hand

Every piece is selected and inspected before it is listed.

Measured, not guessed

Chest, waist, inseam, insole and more, measured in centimetres and shown on the page. If the measurements do not match what is listed, the return is on us.

Honest about wear

Each piece carries a condition grade, and we photograph flaws instead of hiding them.

ExcellentVery goodGood

Fair when it is not right

You have seven days to return a piece. We would rather hear from you and put it right than have you keep something you will not wear.

Shop as who you are

Four identities guide the shop today. Your standing identity is meant to settle, but you can borrow another for an occasion, like an interview or a wedding. It lasts seven days and never touches the one underneath.

Two more, The Minimalist and The Romantic, will open as soon as we have sourced the right pieces for them.

What we’re aiming at

Fashion is a big part of how the world consumes. Giving good clothes a second life is our small, practical way of pushing that in a better direction. We work towards two of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

12

Responsible Consumption and Production

Every preloved piece that finds a new owner is one less new piece that needs to be made.

13

Climate Action

Keeping well-made clothes in use for longer reduces waste at the source.

Where we’re headed

  1. 01Make preloved the first choice for style-minded people in Lagos, not the fallback.
  2. 02Describe every piece honestly, with its condition and size stated clearly.
  3. 03Grow the range across all four identities, and open The Minimalist and The Romantic as we source for them.
  4. 04Build a community around the pieces, through The Jaunty Says and Spot The Jaunty.

Part of the story

The Jaunty Spot is not just customers and pieces. Spot The Jaunty on the homepage shows the people wearing what they found here, and The Jaunty Says is where we write about style, identity and the stories behind the pieces.
