In managing clothes, male students emphasized durability; however, female participants checked fluff occurrence. Second, more than half of the respondents knew what up-cycling fashion was; overall, female students were more aware of up-cycling fashion than males. Few students purchased up-cycling clothes; however, many were willing to buy up-cycling clothes for eco-friendliness, which implies that they understood the relations between up-cycling fashion and environment. Third, pertaining to the perception of SPA fashion, students were highly satisfied with the accessibility of SPA brand stores. The group of students who knew up-cycling fashion were more satisfied with SPA brands and indicated o correlation between the cognition of up-cycling brands and preference for SPA brands.
