Yara Kerschot isn’t bothered that her latest online purchase is second-hand. After all, most items in her closet, including T-shirts, blouses and sneakers, are pre-loved.

The 10-year-old smiles gleefully at her latest acquisition, a grey sweater, featuring the icon of The Rolling Stones’ album, Forty Licks. It is eye-catching, with diamante and sequins, and the best thing is that Yara managed to acquire it at a fraction of its original price.
