In the luxury market pre-owned clothing is surging and has a cool reputation, but... the economics aren't making sense. In the past decade, buying used fashion has become normalized and even glamorized. Did you know celebrities are getting in on the action through swaps and sales of pre-owned designer clothing? Shopper's are paying hundreds for bundles of "thrift clothing." As large as the opportunity is, there is a big problem, the economics doesn't make sense.
Why is this?
1. With the rise of ultra-fast, cheap fashion brands, the volume of clothing produced globally and shipped globally continues to explode. and buyers are offloading more of it just after a few wears. There's an oversupply of clothing and it's lowering the perceived value, and the real value of everything.
2. Second-hand clothing although it's a free resource, it takes a tremendous amount of effort and labor to produce a profit. Labor costs can push the price of second-hand over the price of new products of similar quality. For example, a used pair of polo jeans that's priced higher than a new pair. YIKES!
