Secondhand Fashion Becomes A Gen Z Income Stream
Young Indians are turning vintage and secondhand fashion into a side hustle.
Secondhand fashion is becoming more than a style trend for young Indians. For some, it is also a way to earn money.
Students and young workers are selling vintage and pre-loved clothing through Instagram, pop-ups and street markets. Buyers are attracted to affordability, individuality and sustainability.
The trend reflects a changing relationship with work and fashion. Young people are using digital tools to turn taste, curation and community into income.
Resale platforms focused on Indian wear and luxury labels have seen growing interest, with some attracting venture funding.
