The line -up is evenly positioned: both voices from the first hand fashion industry and representatives of the booming second -hand market have their say. The desire of customers for sustainability and social tolerance is no longer a diffuse trend, but has become a reality. For luxury groups, it is more important to make the right decisions for the future than ever. New startups go hand in hand with these new ideas and manage to create a remarkable market volume and to inspire customers individually and apart from the latest collection. So it is a good sign to hear in addition to plans for the future about successes that have already been achieved. Working conditions in the industry and often questionable ecological tolerance are now scared of many customers before buying products, transparency, honesty and a real goodwill for many are the be -all and end of today for many. 


Circular business models with high -priced fashion & accessories will continue to be predicted in the future. Sabrina Sadiq from Luxury Promise confirms this in conversation and is proud of the success of yours Online Shop With new ideas such as live shopping, the implementation of which is a new type of TV shopping.

The offer of both fashion variants makes sense: sustainability is related to the company and at the same time the customer's wish for authentic second -hand fashion is answered. Forums for the exchange with each other and for mutual assistance with questions about trends and care are also increasingly being used. The community idea is another trend that will shape our shopping environments in the future. Being part of a group is human and can also offer help and protection virtually. What the herd thinks also provides information about trends.
