How does Gen Z shop differently?

Gen Z, generally those born from the mid-1990s to early 2010s, are less swayed by traditional status symbols. They often prioritise value, sustainability, and unique finds, frequently shopping online for second-hand goods. This shift in buying habits is forcing many industries, including luxury, to rethink their approach.
