Second glance: exploring consumer shifts to thrift shopping and perception of second-hand fashion
2025
Overview
Purpose
The increasing consumer interest in second-hand fashion is reshaping the retail landscape, yet concerns about perceived risks and value continue to influence purchasing behaviors. While existing research highlights sustainability and affordability as key drivers of thrift shopping, the impact of perceived risks (functional and social) on customer switching behavior remains underexplored. This study examines how consumer perceptions of second-hand clothing influence their decision to switch from new to used fashion, integrating theories of perceived risk and customer switching behavior. By addressing this gap, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the barriers and motivations behind second-hand clothing adoption.
Design/methodology/approach
This study employs a
mixed-method approach
to comprehensively analyze consumer switching behavior toward second-hand clothing. The
qualitative phase
includes in-depth interviews with an industry expert and 20 hand clothing consumers, providing nuanced insights into motivations and perceived barriers. The
quantitative phase
consists of an online survey with
290 respondents
, statistically examining the relationships between perceived risks and switching behavior using correlation analysis and reliability testing. By integrating both qualitative and quantitative insights, this study ensures a holistic understanding of the factors influencing second-hand clothing adoption.
Findings
Analysis of the data using SPSS revealed that customers’ perceptions significantly affect their switching behavior concerning second-hand clothes.
Originality/value
This research contributes to the understanding of the dynamics between customer perception and market behavior in the context of second-hand clothing, highlighting the role of perceived risk in consumer decision-making processes.
