Nordstrom is getting into the second-hand clothes business. The luxury department store chain on Friday launched a service, dubbed See You Tomorrow, both online and at its physical store in New York City that will sell used and pre-owned items.
The launch follows similar moves into second-hand clothing by traditional retailers like Urban Outfitters, which recently started a clothing rental service, as consumers become increasingly conscious of the apparel industry’s toll on the environment.
Textile production generates 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year — more than what is produced by all international flights and maritime shipping trips combined, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
