UPDATE 1-Second-hand retailer ThredUp posts 15.2% revenue rise in first post-IPO report

(Adds details on forecast; shares)

May 12 (Reuters) - Online second-hand apparel retailer ThredUp Inc on Wednesday reported a 15.2% jump in quarterly revenue in its first report as a public company, driven by demand from penny- pinching and environmentally-conscious young shoppers.

Gen Z and millennial consumers are increasingly looking past the stigma of buying used products, concentrating instead on the deals to be had on what otherwise would have been pricey apparel, accessories and shoes.

ThredUp, which sells products for women and kids, has also benefited from the younger generation growing more conscious of sustainability and reducing waste.
