This is a simple choice.

Over the past few years, the way you shop has changed irreversibly. People have been pushing to support small private brands (especially those from the black community) and adopt more environmentally friendly ways of spending, whether that means buying resale or reducing purchases. So when it comes to this year's holiday, for those who are earth-conscious, you can shop in different ways. Rather than buying brand new products for your loved ones, you can also focus on how to give away second-hand items, which are usually more meaningful and unique (even if they have a bad reputation before giving back).

"We have seen a 60% increase in the number of customers [at checkout] choosing our gift box option in 2020 [holiday] compared to 2019 [holiday]," said Noelle Sciacca, Head of Female Editors at RealReal Commodity manager, tell TZR. "People are giving away [second-hand items], which is very exciting."

An easy way to start your research is to browse digital platforms such as The RealReal or Rebag (if you know you want to give away a verified luxury). As you read, please pay attention to the value of the item over time. Elizabeth Layne, chief marketing officer of Rebag, shared with TZR that products such as the Chanel Flap bag, Rolex watches, and Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery will maintain their value, even if they will not become more popular over the years. (So ​​the recipient of your gift can wear the investment item season after season, or sell it again at roughly the same price you pay for a day.)

If you are open to any and all options in the second-hand market, please take advantage of Vestiaire Collective's merchant network. Alice Hebrard-Lemaire, Key Account Manager of the Vestiaire Collective luxury brand, said: "[Online Marketplace] has curated a global catalog of very popular luxury goods, with 3 million items, 10,000 brands, and 20,000 items every day. The catalog keeps increasing." "Everyone on your list has a perfect gift."

In addition to the aforementioned websites, you may have heard of style destinations that fashion girls love, such as New York treasures, fashion lovers, and things to walk around, which score unique designer (and contemporary) work. Many of these retailers not only offer second-hand goods, but sometimes also offer brand new products with labels—half the original price. For example, on RealReal, you can filter these products by using the "labeled items" checkbox. If you are looking for a bag or shirt in good condition, then you can apply another filter. If you feel overwhelmed in your search, these businesses usually have their own curated gift guides that you can use.

Once you really accept the idea of ​​giving a gift, there is no shortage of people to resell it. "I don't think receiving second-hand gifts has any negative effects," Layne told TZR. "Resale items are gifts that no one else has. They carry a unique story. [Gifts] may be retro, or they may be limited edition items that you can't find anywhere else because it is sold out." Layne further added that the current global supply chain issues in the fashion sector may prompt more consumers to buy gifts from resale sites this year.

"[Simply put], you might go to a Louis Vuitton store or louisvuitton.com and find that the Neverfull bag [you want to give] is out of stock," Lane said. "Then, your other option is to find them on resale sites. Therefore, [these places] not only allow you to obtain unique and retro works, but also allow you to obtain [supply scarce] items."
