Millennials and those in Generation Z are embracing thrift shopping 2½ times faster than any other age group.
That is according to research published by ThredUp, the world's largest fashion resale platform inspiring a new generation to think second-hand first, in its 2020 resale report.
Purchasing used clothing is a niche trend that is also gaining traction in Singapore.
Mr Gilbert Salonga, owner of Lucky Plaza Bazaar, told The New Paper that 60 per cent of its customers are youth in Singapore "as the younger generation likes upcycling our clothing".
YOUNGER FANS
Meanwhile, SSVP Shop's venture into social media marketing during the circuit breaker also attracted a younger fan base. They make up 40 per cent of its customers, displaying "an awareness of being sustainable and buying responsibly", said shop supervisor Maurice Wong.
