Secondhand apparel and accessory shoppers in Athens, Georgia were quantitatively analyzed through their participation in an online survey. The results showed significant influence of Environmental Apparel Consumerism, Apparel Knowledge and Concern for Apparel Social Issues, Fashion Leadership, and Shopping Enjoyment on Purchase Frequency of secondhand apparel and accessories.
