"Gucci has successfully created a brand that resonates by reflecting the values of its growing community," Rati Levesque, COO of The RealReal, wrote in the report. "It's taken bold stances like going fur-free, driven civic action and supported gender equality.

"We're seeing resale shift people's shopping habits in the primary market," Allison Sommer, director of strategic initiatives at The RealReal, wrote in the report. "As shoppers get savvier about how they invest and the impact what they're buying has on the planet, they're turning to luxury resale as both a replacement for fast fashion and a barometer of value."
