revaHow Vinted Showcase Works and How to Prepare Your Wardrobe
The rules from Vinted's help page, the wardrobe prep that decides whether a week of promotion is wasted, and a simple one-week test.
- Vinted Showcase (Wardrobe Spotlight) needs at least 5 items listed, runs for 7 consecutive days once activated, and highlights up to 15 listings that Vinted picks (help 452, checked 14 Sept 2026).
- The price depends on the number and value of your listings; Vinted does not publish a price table, so treat any specific figure you see online as unverified.
- Holiday mode does not extend a Showcase already running — it only hides your listings while the paid days keep counting down.
- Views and interactions show in your profile while Showcase is active; what happens to the stats afterwards, or when a shown item sells, is not documented.
Vinted's Showcase — labelled Wardrobe Spotlight in the UK app — puts a batch of your listings in front of more buyers for a week, starting the moment you pay for it. It works across your wardrobe, not on one item, and Vinted doesn't publish a price list for it. This page covers the rules, what actually drives the price, and how to prepare your wardrobe and read the stats before deciding whether to run it again.
What Showcase does
Vinted's help page for Wardrobe Spotlight says it's activated immediately and highlights listings that members are most likely to buy, shown in the newsfeed and in search results as items matching their preferences and filters. That's different from a Bump, which lifts one listing at a time — Showcase works across a batch of your wardrobe at once. For the rest of running a Vinted shop, see the Vinted reseller guide.
The rules: 7 days, 5 items, up to 15 listings
Three numbers define it, all from Vinted's own help page:
Vinted decides which of your listings get shown, not you, and its help page doesn't say whether you can stop a Showcase early or what happens to a listing that sells partway through — treat both as open questions rather than assuming either way.
What the price depends on
Vinted's help page says the price depends on the number and value of your listings: more listings, or higher-value ones, cost slightly more. It doesn't publish a price table or formula, and specific figures you might see quoted elsewhere don't come from Vinted, so don't rely on them — the app shows your exact price before you pay.
Prepare your wardrobe before you pay
Showcase highlights existing listings, it doesn't fix them, so the week before you buy it is the time to sort prices, retake weak photos and tighten descriptions on whatever's likely to be shown. Pull anything that's gone stale or that you'd rather not sell right now, since Vinted's algorithm — not you — chooses what appears.
Don't switch on holiday mode while a Showcase is running: it hides your listings but does not extend the Showcase, so you'd pay for visibility nobody sees.
Read the stats and run a one-week test
Before you buy, jot down a baseline: views, favourites, messages and sales over an ordinary week. Buy Showcase, then check the in-profile stats daily for the 7 days it runs, and compare the total against your baseline week rather than against a gut feeling.

- 4AfterCompare week 1 against week 0; repeat only if sales or messages rose by more than it cost
For a single item instead of a whole wardrobe, is a Vinted Bump worth it covers that separately, and Bump vs a price drop helps choose between the two.
Either way, paid visibility changes who sees a listing for a while — it doesn't fix a price that's too high to begin with. How Vinted ranks listings has more on what else affects visibility once the week ends.
