More and more Americans are buying used clothes from second-hand stores. ThredUP is an online second-hand store. James Reinhart, the founder (创始人) of ThredUP, once said, “You have to go where the customer is going.”
Now some popular department stores(百货公司), like J.C. Penney and Macy’s, have started selling old clothes, too. The first big store that entered the old clothes business was Neiman Marcus. Customers can buy old clothes in the store. It has also started to leave areas in the store to recycle (回收) old clothes from customers. Many customers think it’s very convenient.
Customers want to pay less for clothes. And they’d rather see their old clothes worn again than thrown away.
A report on ThredUp shows that sales of second-hand clothes will grow from $24 billion in 2018 to $51 billion by 2023. Another study finds that one-third of the customers sold unwanted clothes to buy new ones.
However, Neil Saunders, the director of Global Data Retail, thinks selling old clothes can destroy the relationship between stores and suppliers(供货商) of new clothes. The suppliers will have to spend more money on advertisement(广告) and sell new clothes at a lower price.
Some people think selling old clothes is a way for some big stores to bring young customers back. Is that true? Do you agree?
