Sustainability

As sustainability trends and consumers' behaviour continues to change, taking more initiative to change their carbon footprint, secondhand consumption is an excellent alternative.

Fast fashion consumption is contributing to extreme amounts of waste and pollution.But, on the other hand, the pre-loved market helps minimize that by recycling already made items back into the market.

The pre-loved cycle helps protect our natural resources and environment.

Economy

The rising consumer living standards backed by their increasing disposable income
levels have increased the market for secondhand luxury goods across both developed
and emerging economies. Moreover, consumers have shown to prefer lower-priced
high-end fashion goods.

Digitalization

Online platforms also play a vital role in the expansion of the luxury market. With easy
access to the internet and the hassle-free process of pre-loved luxury companies,
purchasing your dream designer item has never been this easy.

Scarcity of new luxury items

With Luxury brands limiting their releases, the demand for their items has gone up.

Consequently, consumers rely on the pre-loved market to purchase that exclusive item
that is unavailable as new.

Handbags such as the sought out Hermes Birkin or Hermes Kelly are almost impossible
to get new. This means pre-owned Hermés is a big commodity in the pre-loved market,
as clients can purchase these bags without waiting years.

The pre-loved luxury market is here to stay and make fashion accessible and
ecologically conscious.
