Second-Hand Fashion Dataset

Update Sep. 19th, 2024

• Some problematic and duplicate images have been removed from version 2.- All "gold dataset" data from station1 and station3 has been moved to a single test100 folder.- JSON errors have been fixed - all JSON files should be parsed correctly now.

The new dataset has 31,638 items (+ about 100 items in test100 folder) instead of the 31,997 items in version 2.

Overview

The dataset originates from projects focused on the sorting of used clothes within a sorting facility. The primary objective is to classify each garment into one of several categories to determine its ultimate destination: reuse, reuse outside Sweden (export), recycling, repair, remake, or thermal waste.

The dataset has 31,638 clothing items, a massive update from the 3,000 items in version 1. The dataset collection started under the Vinnova funded project "AI for resource-efficient circular fashion" in Spring, 2022 and involves collaboration among three institutions: RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB, Wargön Innovation AB, and Myrorna AB. The dataset has received further support through the EU project, CISUTAC (cisutac.eu).

Project page

• Webpage: second-hand-fashion- Contact: farrukh.nauman@ri.se

Dataset Details

• The dataset contains 31,638 clothing items, each with a unique item ID in a datetime format. The items are divided into three stations: station1, station2, and station3. The station1 and station2 folders contain images and annotations from Wargön Innovation AB, while the station3 folder contains data from Myrorna AB. Each clothing item has three images and a JSON file containing annotations.

• Three images are provided for each clothing item: 1. Front view. 2. Back view. 3. Brand label close-up. About 4000-5000 brand images are missing because of privacy concerns: people's hands, faces, etc. Some clothing items did not have a brand label to begin with.

• Image resolutions are primarily in two sizes: 1280x720 and 1920x1080. The background of the images is a table that used a measuring tape prior to January 2023, but later images have a square grid pattern with each square measuring 10x10 cm.

• Each JSON file contains a list of annotations, some of which require nuanced interpretation (see labels.py for the options): - usage: Arguably the most critical label, usage indicates the garment's intended pathway. Options include 'Reuse,' 'Repair,' 'Remake,' 'Recycle,' 'Export' (reuse outside Sweden), and 'Energy recovery' (thermal waste). About 99% of the garments fall into the 'Reuse,' 'Export,' or 'Recycle' categories. - trend: This field refers to the general style of the garment, not a time-dependent trend as in some other datasets (e.g., Visuelle 2.0). It might be more accurately labeled as 'style.' - material: Material annotations are mostly based on the readings from a Near Infrared (NIR) scanner and in some cases from the garment's brand label. - Damage-related attributes include: - condition (1-5 scale, 5 being the best) - pilling (1-5 scale, 5 meaning no pilling) - stains, holes, smell (each with options 'None,' 'Minor,' 'Major'). Note: 'holes' and 'smell' were introduced after November 17th, 2022, and stains previously only had 'Yes'/'No' options. For station1 and station2, we introduced additional damage location labels to assist in damage detection:

    "damageimage": "back",
    "damageloc": "bottom left",
    "damage": "stain ",
    "damage2image": "front",
    "damage2loc": "None",
    "damage2": "",
    "damage3image": "back",
    "damage3loc": "bottom right",
    "damage3": "stain"
  
  Taken from `labels_2024_04_05_08_47_35.json` file. Additionally, we annotated a few hundred images with bounding box annotations that we aim to release at a later date.  - `comments`: The comments field is mostly empty, but sometimes contains important information about the garment, such as a detailed text description of the damage. 
  

• Whenever possible, ISO standards have been followed to define these attributes on a 1-5 scale (e.g., pilling).

• Gold dataset: 100 garments were annotated multiple times by different annotators for annotator agreement comparisons. These 100 garments are placed inside a separate folder test100.

• The data has been annotated by a group of expert second-hand sorters at Wargön Innovation AB and Myrorna AB.

• Some attributes, such as price, should be considered with caution. Many distinct pricing models exist in the second-hand industry: - Price by weight - Price by brand and demand (similar to first-hand fashion) - Generic pricing at a fixed value (e.g., 1 Euro or 10 SEK) Wargön Innovation AB does not set the prices in practice and their prices are suggestive only (station1 and station2). Myrorna AB (station3), in contrast, does resale and sets the prices.

Comments

• We received feedback on our version 1 that some images were too blurry or had poor lighting. The image quality has slightly improved, but largely remains similar to release 1. - Some users did not prefer a tar.gz format that we uploaded in version 1 of the dataset. We have now switched to .zip for convenience.- Extra care was taken not to leak personal information. This is why you will not see any entries for annotator attribute in the JSON files in station1/sep2023 since people used their real names. Since then, we used internally assigned IDs. - Many brand images contained people's hands, faces, or other personal information. We have removed about 4000-5000 brand images for privacy reasons. - Please inform us immediately if you find any personal information revelations in the dataset: - Farrukh Nauman (RISE AB): farrukh.nauman@ri.se, - Susanne Eriksson (Wargön Innovation AB): susanne.eriksson@wargoninnovation.se, - Gabriella Engstrom (Wargön Innovation AB): gabriella.engstrom@wargoninnovation.se.

We went through 100k images four times to ensure no personal information is leaked, but we are human and can make mistakes.

Introduction

Fashion Industry Statistics:Â The fast Fashion industry has experienced exponential growth, producing approximately 100 billion garments annually. This surge in production has led to significant environmental consequences, with the industry responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions, surpassing the combined emissions from international flights and maritime shipping. Additionally, it accounts for 20% of global wastewater, primarily due to dyeing and finishing processes

Water consumption in fashion is staggering; manufacturing a single cotton shirt requires around 700 gallons of water, while a pair of jeans demands approximately 2,000 gallons. Annually, the industry utilizes about 93 billion cubic meters of water, exacerbating water scarcity issues worldwide.

Waste generation is another pressing concern. Out of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tonnes end up in landfills, equating to a truckload of textiles discarded every second. Moreover, over 50% of fast fashion items are disposed of within a year of purchase, highlighting the industry's contribution to the throwaway culture

Social implications are equally alarming. The fashion sector employs over 80 million workers globally, many of whom are young women from impoverished backgrounds. Reports have surfaced of laborers working up to 75 hours a week for as little as one cent per garment, underscoring the exploitation prevalent in the industry.

These statistics illuminate the profound environmental and social impacts of fast fashion, emphasizing the urgent need for more sustainable practices within the industry. However, sales technology is having a huge impact on customer behavior across the globe. In this article, we shed more light on the fashion industry statistics.

According to a survey conducted in 2022, over ** percent of consumers shared that they were concerned about sustainability when making fashion purchases. Just ***** percent answered that they would pay a premium for sustainably produced clothing.

The Global Fast Fashion Market Size Was Worth USD 148.40 Billion in 2024 and Is Expected To Reach USD 179.50 Billion by 2034, CAGR of 14.56%.

According to a recent consumer survey conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) on sustainable fashion purchase behavior, British men preferred shopping with sustainable fashion brands more than women did, with 53 percent versus 47 percent, respectively. The survey results revealed that male respondents from the age groups 25-34 and 35-44 were more likely to only buy clothes from sustainable brands compared to respondents in the other age groups and gender. Among women polled for this survey, those aged 35-44 and over 55 showed higher preference for sustainable fashion brands.

For the launch of the #Wearthechange campaign by the C&A retail chain, promoting sustainable fashion for all, the source examined the relationship between French people and committed fashion. As consumer awareness is driving the apparel and textile sector to take sustainable initiatives, the results of the study provide an insight into the practices already integrated into people's daily lives. Thus, in 2019, nearly half of the French (** percent) had already brought clothes back to stores or dropped them off at a collection point, and the same proportion had already given clothes instead of throwing them away. Growing awareness of climate issues among the French In recent years, issues related to sustainable development and climate crisis have gained increased awareness among the French, particularly regarding the textile industry. In 2018, one out of three people in France took these environmental issues into account when buying clothes. And in 2019, more than a ******* of the French population said they had a guilty conscience when purchasing new clothing. This environmental awareness, although more relevant among the wealthy classes, could in part explain the development of markets such as the second-hand market. Fast fashion and textile waste This general awareness of the climate crisis also comes with considerations related to the fast fashion industry. In the eyes of European consumers, large fast fashion companies are not exactly associated with sustainable supply chains. Indeed, the fact that the fashion industry is "fast" implies an overproduction of clothing, which contributes to major environmental problems, such as textile waste, carbon emissions, or water and electricity over consumption. In France, the quantity of textile waste generated per capita was higher than ***** kilograms in 2016.
