From a cost perspective too, resale fashion is considerably cheaper than buying brand new clothes, and with the cost of living crisis hitting the UK hard in recent months, a lot of people have found that thrifting clothes and buying resale instead is a better option for them. In 2021, Zara was one of the most listed brands on online marketplace Depop, proving that consumers have access to high-end brands, for just a fraction of the cost, all whilst shopping sustainably and second-hand. Many garments listed on such sites are in excellent condition, sometimes even new and unwanted, a win-win for buyers wanting good quality items for a fraction of the cost they would pay in the high street store.
