Highlights
- Main idea: The second-hand luxury market is a significant growth driver, with some categories seeing 25% to 40% of transactions occurring in the resale space
- Consumer driver: Gen Z and Gen Alpha are primary drivers, with 45% of these cohorts already participating in the second-hand economy
- Strategic advantage: Luxury brands use resale not to cannibalize new sales, but to reach complementary audiences and maintain client engagement
- Practical takeaway: 'Resale as a Service' (RaaS) allows brands like Chloé and Burberry to outsource the complexities of authentication and logistics to experts
