The research contained questions on the following topics:

– purchasing habits,

– governments’ roles,

– fashion bands’ roles,

– given information about the clothes,

– new business opportunities in fashion for a better future.

The results enable us to refer to the actual consumer habits from Central Europe.We are sure you know life is very different in Western and Central Europe countries. From now on it is possible to compare central European markets to the Western ones as before all the data and results were only based on the Western markets’ data.

Among others, the research shows the main shopping indicators for consumers from the Visegrad group, their approach to pre-loved fashion, and how the transparency of supply chains and sustainable development influence purchasing decisions. It demonstrates consumers’ demands for information regarding the environmental and social influence of production, the importance of legislative regulations, and the role of government and independent organizations in maintaining both responsible production and obeying the worker’s rights.The data are differentiated based on the criterium of the country of origin, sex, age, and income.The results are a vast source of knowledge for entrepreneurs, activists, and decision-makers including fashion brands or pre-loved sellers.
