What’s behind a thrifting boom among American shoppers

Season 2025 Episode 186 | 7m 43s

While thrift stores are nothing new, they’re becoming more popular as shoppers deal with rising costs of living and even in some cases earn a living as resellers. The secondhand clothing industry is projected to grow about three times faster than the overall apparel market. We hear from thrifters around the country and Ali Rogin speaks with Poshmark founder and CEO Manish Chandra for more.
