It’s no secret that secondhand shopping is on the rise - according to ThredUp’s Resale Report, 25% of consumers resold apparel in 2023! Whether it’s to make extra money, clean out a closet, or sustainably get rid of clothes, more and more consumers are seeking ways to keep their garments in circulation rather than tossing them into the landfill. We are proud to be a part of this movement by launching our resale partnership with ThredUP last year to continue our efforts towards circularity. We even landed on their “20 Best Brands in Resale” list! Interested in reselling your old Smartwool apparel to earn some shopping credit? Visit the link below.

One of the most intriguing statistics from the recently released ThredUp 2024 Resale report is that by 2028, new secondhand shoppers will make up 65% of incremental secondhand spending! But how do we get these new shoppers to participate in resale, and why aren't they already buying secondhand today? According to various research studies, the primary barriers preventing people from engaging in secondhand clothing sales include: 🤔 Concerns about the perceived quality of items 👗 Lack of "fashionable" styles 🧼 A general mistrust in the state of an item from an untrusted stranger (Is it clean? Does it smell?) The influx of low-quality and fast fashion has only worsened these challenges. As highlighted in the NY Times, the rise in low-quality items on resale platforms and thrift stores makes it difficult for long-time secondhand shoppers to find high-quality garments. Now is the time to eliminate these barriers so we can accelerate circularity. At Lucky Sweater, we're leading this effort by building a platform of trusted online community spaces for buying, selling, and trading (what you wish your Facebook b/s/t groups wish they could be). Here, individuals with shared passions and curated styles can build trust by exchanging advice, inspiration, and high-quality items they love. Think Reddit for commerce. If you're interested in discussing how we can accelerate circularity and ensure we meet the projections outlined in these reports to capture the 65% of new secondhand shoppers, feel free to reach out! Let's make sustainable fashion the norm. 💚✨ Sources: https://lnkd.in/eVisFGqS https://lnkd.in/ebzfNGUz https://lnkd.in/eV72bWsP https://lnkd.in/etRKpDqE

🟧 ThredUp Resale Report The global #secondhand #apparel market continues to burgeon—a testament to the #intrinsic #value shoppers find in the #secondhand experience and proof of the seismic shift towards a more #circular #fashion ecosystem. As we celebrate this progress, we also recognize the powerful role the government can play in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future for fashion. Now in its 12th year, the Resale Report shows some of the #most #promising signals of what that future could look like with increased levels of support. Until fashion is no longer one of the most damaging sectors of the global economy, we will continue to advocate for the government to help drive adoption and behavior change in fashion. We hope you enjoy this year’s findings and join us on our mission to #inspire the world to think secondhand first. – James Reinhart, ThredUp CEO TY: Tony Moroney #secondhand #fashionindustry #fashionwaste #fashionhouses #circularfashion #recycling #upcycling #resale #customers #cx #shopping #shoppinghabits #customerexperience #profits #customerexperience #resale #sdgs #decarbonization #zerocarbon #environment #climatechange #resale #businessmodel #business https://lnkd.in/e9fgAcfF

According to ThredUp's 11th annual resale report, 75% of US consumers have shopped or are willing to shop secondhand. That number only continues to grow as Gen-Zers become more aware and sick of fast-fashion waste and begin to elect for more timeless and sustainable looks. And with Gen-Z already driving e-commerce, the online resale market is expected to grow 21% each year over the next 5 years! Now as a brand owner I'd ask you, "are you comfortable with letting thousands of $$$ in potential revenue go to third-party marketplaces like Facebook, Poshmark, or even worse, the landfill?" 🗑️ If not, start taking a look at #brandedresale and the #circulareconomy for yourself here - https://lnkd.in/g3Uen-aC ♻️
