One in three consumers care more about wearing sustainable apparel than pre-pandemic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45% of millennials and Gen Z refuse to purchase from brands and retailers that are not sustainable<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

One day, I looked at my closet and realized it was filled with disposable pieces I didn\u2019t love, so I decided to change the way I shop.

The frenzy in home remodeling coupled with pandemic relocation, for example, caused a run-up in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used item<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prices in the furniture market for everything from end tables to antiques to sofas.
