“…Thus, the products sold should follow the trend. Wai Yee et al (2016) said that young consumers are stylish buyers who have a strong tendency to follow the latest fashion trend. Customer satisfaction acts as a variable that mediates CPV with Patronage Intention.…”

Religiosity covers all aspects of human life values. Consumer decision-making in Muslim product purchase needs to involve religiosity. Muslim fashion is increasingly popular and becomes a potential business for fashion entrepreneurs in Indonesia. This condition evokes a dilemma for the consumers as Muslim fashion users on whether they have to conform to the religious sharia or follow the trend. The purpose of this article is to identify the role of religiosity as a factor affecting Muslim consumers to revisit Muslim fashion stores. This research involved 243 Muslim consumers of several Muslim fashion stores. The results showed that religiosity of Muslim consumers had a direct effect on patronage intention and indirect effect on patronage intention of Muslim fashion stores through Customer Satisfaction. The research findings are directed to managerial implications for Muslim fashion entrepreneurs in relation to consumer religiosity and marketing of Indonesian Muslim fashion products.

“…However, consumers neither understand nor have knowledge regarding environmental issues that involve man-made fibre and cotton production (Birtwistle & Moore, 2007). The consumers are also deemed to not feel guilty when it comes to disposing expensive materials and are apparently less interested in matters related to ethics and social awareness (Yee, Hassan, & Ramayah, 2016). Recycle means torn materials are repaired, re-designed, or re-used (Ekström & Salomonson, 2014).…”

A mother begins to care about her baby once she learns about her pregnancy. She becomes even more concerned about her baby after delivery, and, therefore, starts to scrutinize everything that is of interest to the baby, including the selection of adequate clothing that is not harmful to sensitive skin. Given the importance of providing comfortable and healthy clothing to our children, it was necessary to focus on the type of fabrics from which children's dresses are made. Also there has been a need to understand the best characteristics and specifications of fabrics, as sustainable fibers that are made from cotton are commonly preferred over synthetic fibers which are considered unsuitable for children due to the sensitivity of their skin. With the beginning of the 21 st century, fast fashion has become a source of growth, and production of clothing doubled dramatically. Estimates indicate that consumers are turning to cheaper clothes which are usually discarded after a short time, while ignoring sustainable fabrics and quality of clothing, thus harming the children's skin. Based on this fact, this research seeks to examine Saudi mothers' awareness of sustainable fabrics, their interest in purchasing eco-friendly children's clothing as well as their purchasing preferences of children clothing. This paper also seeks to raise awareness among mothers on the importance of choosing sustainable fabrics for children's clothing, guide mothers to opt for quality of fabrics over designs, encourage designers to create designs for children's clothing using eco-friendly fabrics, and encourage merchants to use and market eco-friendly fabrics in order to reduce the environmental pollution, in line with the Saudi Vision 2030.

“…Five study results revealed that awareness of sustainable clothing and consumption is somewhat limited [92,100,[104][105][106]. Other studies [92,107], introducing concepts of sustainability and illustrating fashion retailers' responses to sustainability, found that even though participants showed some sustainable behaviours, the awareness of fashion sustainability was low.…”

“…A study conducted in India by Norris [108] referred to the growing Indian consumer awareness of recycling as an environmentally friendly practice, as well as recycling as an ancient process that is even linked to reincarnation [108]. A quantitative study carried out in Malaysia by Yee et al [106] focused on the clothing disposal behaviour of young fashionable consumers and showed that it is affected by philanthropic awareness and somewhat by the attitude towards clothing disposal. The authors suggested that these insights could be used by the government and related authorities or organisations to develop strategies accordingly to foster consumer clothing recycling [106].…”

The textile and fashion industry has had significant technological developments but is currently criticised for its environmental and social impacts and for being a major contributor to waste. The rise of the circular economy (CE) has promoted more sustainable concepts, including the trending of recycling strategies to add value to the textile and plastic waste. However, adding value to products and for users implies technical upscaling and clear communication about the benefits of recycling. This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) and explores the state of the art of recycled textiles (RT) and circular fashion (CF) as perceived by humans. The literature review was performed on the basis of journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers using the ScienceDirect (SD) and Web of Science (WoS) databases. The review identified that a significant proportion of consumers from different countries have a basic understanding of sustainable products but that there have been differences in consumers’ attitudes towards sustainable purchase, use, consumption, and post-purchase behaviour. Diverse and even contradictory results occurred concerning the relationships between RT and CF and their perceived product attributes in terms of quality and functionality, as well as social-cultural factors. Manufacturers’ and brands’ perceived values of RT were observed to be influenced by different factors on the basis of the recycling system and cultural values, while designer attitudes towards sustainability were observed to be influenced by external factors. This review contributes to the creation of three main implications in terms of environmental impact and awareness, including actions and concrete proposals for RT and CF.
