There are many reasons to love luxury brands. They create timeless luxury by creating the highest quality products that last for decades to come as well as by consciously making the choice of not jumping aboard the trends train.

Reselling luxury products has always been a good idea. After all, the highly coveted Birkins are called “investment” bags for a reason. Unlike your typical fast fashion brands which create the equivalent of “use and throw” items that end up in landfills, luxury items, are usually passed from one wardrobe to another. We can owe this to the fact that they’re often gently used and of extremely high quality. 

The Luxury Secondhand Market

A great resale value along with the ability to lead to a green future? Yes, sign us up, please!

The green movement has led to the growth in the circular fashion movement, with more and more eco-conscious millennials looking to buy vintage and to thrift rather than give their money to fast fashion brands. In terms of luxury products, the market has seen a rapid rise since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Don’t believe us? Let’s just look at the data:

→ The secondhand market is projected to double in the next years, reaching US$77 billion by 2025. This means that it is expected to grow 11X faster than the traditional retail clothing sector. 

→ The luxury secondhand market is growing at 12% per year (as compared to the primary luxury market, at 3% per year).
