VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE: THE WORLD CANNOT AFFORD FAST FASHION
The cost-per-wear metric reveals the true cost of an item based on its frequency of use, total lifespan, and its resale value. While fast fashion items might initially appear more financially attractive, the report proves that select pre-loved curated fashion items are a more financially-sound investment in the long term.

Key findings on Vestiaire Collective vs. fast fashion:
Regardless of the circumstances, the cost-per-wear is consistently lower when buying pre-loved items. This is particularly true for seasonal and occasional items, like coats and dresses.
