“Just think about it: next year, we’re going to pay out half a billion dollars to people.” Julie Wainwright, founder of the luxury resale company The RealReal, is discussing the benefits of the circular economy and why selling second-hand clothes is a good thing for everyone — even the most exclusive of brands. “We’re putting that back into the economy,” she continues. “That’s a lot of money. And [the brands] are slowly getting the fact that we’re actually helping them, because as soon as we remove things from your house, you’ve got physical space. And then we pay you your money. And it’s not like money that goes to someone’s education. It’s woohoo! Fashion budget!”
「想想看：19年，我們將向人們支付5億美元。」奢侈品轉售公司The RealReal的創辦人朱麗•溫賴特(Julie Wainwright)正在討論循環經濟的好處以及爲什麼賣二手衣服對每個人來說都是件好事——即使是最奢華的品牌。她繼續說道：「我們正在把它重新投入經濟。那是很多錢。而（品牌）逐漸明白了我們實際上在幫助它們的事實，因爲一旦我們從你的房子中拿走東西，你就有了物理空間。然後我們付錢給你。這並不像是爲某人教育支付的錢。哇！這是時尚預算！」
