Whether buying marked-down luxury items, secondhand (design) fashion pieces, or consumer electronics, these consumers will seek status and access, but at a more affordable – and less intimidating – price point.
Check out the screen caps below — we get a mention in their start ups to watch in the secondhand business sector. Thanks Trendwatching!
