When asked about their level of agreement with key motivations for purchasing second-hand fashion items, a large majority of UK consumers went for value and sustainability as the leading reasons they chose to buy second-hand. Availability of choice offered by fashion resellers played a role as well. However, just over half of respondents said this was the leading reason they purchased pre-owned fashion items.
