If having a bunch of untouched designer bags catching dust in your wardrobe was a crime, then we’re pretty sure most of us would be guilty as charged.
With online shopping and fast fashion becoming increasingly accessible in today’s world, it’s incredibly easy to fall down the hole of overconsumption and wastage. Brands are constantly coming out with new collections, using influencers, celebs, and everything in between to make you believe that you desperately need something new in your wardrobe.
However, we’re starting to notice a change. Shopping for sustainable luxury fashion is rising in popularity across the globe. We’re seeing demand for pre-owned luxury items increase, with many consumers changing their focus to buying quality pieces with longevity. Buying pre-loved luxury items has especially attracted high-value customers who are often looking for an element of rarity when buying luxury goods.
The secondhand luxury market is growing four times faster than the primary luxury market, with luxury resale already representing a $24 billion dollar market today. We’re now starting to see many luxury brands push forward with measures to improve their sustainability, do better for people, and ultimately protect the planet. This is where sustainable luxury fashion and circular fashion come in.
What is Circular Fashion in the Context of Sustainable Luxury Fashion?
In simple terms, circular fashion is a system where our clothing, shoes, bags, etc., are produced through a more considered model that ensures the right materials are used from the start of the production process. This, in turn, results in:
- Using fewer materials when making items, increasing its recyclability.
- Removing non-recyclable or polluting materials from the supply chain.
- Ensuring items stay in the use and reuse stage for as long as possible.
- Returning any unavoidable waste to nature safely.
Sustainable luxury fashion is deeply connected to circular fashion, as it promotes the longevity of items while also minimizing waste and environmental impact. Overall, circular fashion within sustainable luxury fashion is:
By engaging with the sustainable luxury fashion movement, we can ensure that the fashion industry shifts towards a more circular, environmentally conscious future.
