👕 👚 Fashion Paradox: The Disconnect Between Production and Consumption 🤝 Fashion and eCommerce have always been linked since the emergence of online marketplaces. Despite the challenges of fitting clothes online, the missing hands-on sensation of feeling materials, and – most of all - waste concerns, #Fashion online sales nowadays account for 24.1% of global eCommerce revenue. This is huge already; #Electronics & Media achieved only 21.9%. But the rise of fast fashion comes with a hefty price tag. From #production to #consumption, each step in the fashion supply chain presents #environmental hazards with cumulative negative impacts. If clothing is sold at prices that do not deter consumers from leaving items unworn and eventually discarding them, it can encourage a throwaway mindset, contributing to landfill problems. 👉 Although many consumers express concern about the negative impact of their fast fashion consumption, the gap between their attitudes and behaviors persists, a phenomenon known as the "fashion paradox". A Zalando survey conducted in 2021 highlights this divide. While a majority of users state their desire to avoid contributing to landfills and recognize the value of second-hand shopping, significantly fewer say they regularly shop second-hand (25%) or repair their clothing (23%). In order to overcome this paradox, there is a large responsibility resting on brands and consumers alike. A few ways in which brands can take a step in the right direction include: ➡ Reducing Waste by Improving Packaging and Engaging in ReCommerce: Brands can bolster their image by participating in the circular economy through enhancing packaging for easy product returns and offering repair services. These steps not only reduce waste but also mitigate the issue of purchased items never being worn. ➡ Leveraging Technological Innovations to Reduce Returns: With advancements like AR and VR technology, customers can now have a virtual try-on experience, helping to counter some of the drawbacks of eCommerce that may leave them dissatisfied with their purchases. ➡ Ensuring Ethical Labor Practices and Protecting Design Originality: Ethical labor conditions include fair wages and safe working conditions across the supply chain. Maintaining transparency about these production processes not only reinforces consumer trust, but also conveys the company’s commitment to ethical standards. 💡 Businesses in eCommerce can find solutions to offset and reduce the negative impact of Fast Fashion by using biodegradable materials, reduce waste through efficient packaging, adopt a #reCommerce strategy, and support regulatory moves toward the ethical trading with garment factories in developing countries.

Fashion retailers continue to increase returns fees. This may seem like a sustainability move - so much waste is generated when a clothing item is returned. But it’s not just about the environment. It’s about stopping the huge volume in returns that can impact a retailers profitability. It’s a legitimate move, but it’s missing a big piece of the puzzle - avoiding returns in the first place. Inconsistent sizing, poor product visuals on site, quality of products, lack of AR/VR try-on tools - improving all of those could reduce the return rate. Making sure shoppers get what they actually ordered will cost retailers a lot, but long-term - it will save them a fortune. https://lnkd.in/eygaSW8Y #ecommerce
