SPENDING MORE FOR SUSTAINABILITY
According to PwC ’ s Voice Of The Consumer survey , consumers in 2024 are willing to spend an average of 9.7 % more on sustainable goods , even during a cost-of-living crisis .
Many fashion consumers are fiercely committed to ethical and sustainable shopping , contributing to the success of esteemed sustainable designer Stella McCartney and the rise of new brands like Lucy and Yak .
