Pinterest trials second-hand shop

With ‘Thrift Shop’, Pinterest is trialling a shopping experience where users can buy second-hand items on the platform. The digital pop-up, from 20 August to 26 September, shows how the platform is increasingly breaking down the boundaries between inspiration and shopping.
