Impulse shopping is now a $17.78bn market in the US, according to personal finance comparison site, Finder.com. 88.6% of American adults have fallen prey to the habit, with 64% of them doing so at least once a month, the study shows. “Icebox” as the extension is called, also serves as a pop-up reminder on 400+ additional stores. A study last year from McKinsey & Company, for instance, showed that annual clothing production exceeded 100 billion for the first time in 2014. Vetements meanwhile filled several windows of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York with a pile of unwanted clothing.
