“…In the context of textiles, two studies were identified, one case study describing how a fashion brand develops and tests circular economy solutions within its existing business models (Kant Hvass and Pedersen, 2019), and another focusing on organizational complexities and their impacts on CBM design (Pedersen et al, 2019), which identified difficulties connected to current business environment with focus on short-term economic value. A recent contribution in the context of fashion is the conceptual paper presenting a framework of CBMs by Coscieme et al (2022), which, however, does not offer solutions for transforming towards circularity.…”

“…Despite the urgency and importance of making the transformation towards CBM happen in the T&C industry (see e.g. Coscieme et al, 2022;Ellen McArthur Foundation, 2022), the factors that make the adoption of CBMs successful in practice in T&C companies are still largely unknown. This study aims to tackle this research gap by investigating capabilities that enable clothing brands to overcome their past in a linear economy and eventually to successfully shift to CBMs.…”

“…Fast fashion is a complex productive system that involves a number of actors operating under strong economic and competitive stress (Niinimäki et al, 2020). In order to foster this transition, the fashion industry needs to adopt new design-driven approaches that combine circular and sustainable manufacturing process, conscious materials selection and the promotion of responsible consumption models (Circular Fashion, 2018;Coscieme et al, 2022;.…”

Contemporary clothing manufacturing, purchasing and consumption models have made the fashion industry the second most polluting industrial sector. This contribution aims at analysing promising technologies, methodologies and practices that are tackling environmental sustainability issues related to the fast-fashion industry. The contribution analyses how, leveraging on technology innovation, the combination of tangible processes, such as the selection of production means and materials, and intangible practices, such as digital fashion, designers can contribute to the sustainable transition of the fast-fashion sector mediating between customer expectations, production economy constrains and environmental sustainability.
“…Operating as part of the second-hand economy they are challenged by competing physical retail outlets and intermediaries trading online (Yrjölä et al , 2021). Though there is a growing emphasis in the literature on an exploration of the latter (Abbes et al , 2020), with the contribution charity shops can make to the sustainability agenda and related business models (Ritter and Schanz, 2019; Guldmann and Huulgaard, 2020; Coscieme et al , 2022; Valor et al , 2022), their role as a physical retail outlet in the context of transforming and experiencing place requires further discussion, and input to place marketing.…”

Purpose
Charity shops have met a number of challenges in light of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper aims to explore the economic and social impact of charity shops and reviews the transformative impact they have on place, the experience of place and the social environment.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper conducts a review of the extant literature in the field of charity shop retail. Considering the issues that are raised, the article proceeds to discuss the opportunities that arise for place marketing efforts and charity shops in the retail environment, the wider sector, the high street and as a positive, key component of place(s).
Findings
The paper provides novel sectorial insights and recommendations that can be adopted by charity retail outlets. This includes discussion on transformative place marketing, the experience of place and the charity shop’ role in the social environment beyond the existing references to charity shops in place(s) and the high street.
Originality/value
Charity shops play a vital role in society and yet they are an under researched field. The paper contributes knowledge on the role of charity shops in transforming and experiencing place. The paper concludes with observations made from the discussion on charity shops, and states areas for future research regarding the role of the charity shop and place marketing, place identity and transformation.
