Inflation, falling purchasing power, awareness of environmental issues: more and more French people are turning to second-hand goods. A sign of a changing era, in 2022, three out of four people bought at least one second-hand product. Second-hand clothing has never been so popular; it represents a market worth one billion euros per year in France, with the rise of specialized platforms but also thrift stores. The second-hand phenomenon is invading all sectors. Luxury, with repaired pieces that are returned to stores for a new life, the construction sector, with sanitary ware or windows put back on the market, or even household appliances.
