Style that doesn't cost the Earth

03 Sep 2024

Shops Stories

Sustainable September is here again, and we're on a mission to make sustainable shopping easier, through our high street shops, Kilo Sale and Evening Shopping Events.

Director of Retail, John Broomhead, said: "Our Sustainable September campaign is all about style that doesn't cost the Earth, and making sustainable shopping fun and accessible. 

"Our shops are in local communities, on your doorstep and we're encouraging people to help the planet while also supporting patient care at our Hospice. 

"The kilo sale is a really popular event as people can get their hands on some real gems from vintage clothing to high-end designer pieces. A whole kilo bag costs only £10 so it's the perfect way to reinvent your wardrobe at a really affordable price. 

"The evening shopping events at our Clifton Superstore, Clifton Village shop, Whiteladies Road and Bedminster shops are another great opportunity to find incredible items at a fraction of the original price. By opening our doors outside of our usual times, we hope that people will take their time to slow down and shop mindfully!"

Last year, we raised over £3 million from the sale of donated clothing and received 538,614 donation bags. With your support, we can continue to make a difference to our community and the planet.

John added: "Events like our Evening Shopping and Kilo Sale are only made possible by the generous donations of pre-loved clothes and items we receive from our supporters. It's great that donations soon become someone else's new favourites, instead of going to landfill or gathering dust in wardrobes."

Slow down, shop Sustainable Fashion this September.
