Time to come out of hibernation with another fair .. save the date and tell your friends! See you there!

It’s officially !

So it’s time to turn to the op-shops, marketplace, antique shops, wherever you find your second hand gems (we feel like we’re probably preaching to the choir a bit 😅), and see if you can go for the whole month either buying, wearing, or even just refreshing your existing wardrobe with some mending or upcycling!

For more hot tips, stay tuned, or head to for more info about how you can get involved and spread the word about how good it is for people and the planet to have a preloved wardrobe!

Rearranging ! Will take some to the next market whenever that will be but the broken clock will have to stay..

International womens day

Vintage Skirts up for grabs .. pm if anything takes your fancy 💃🏽

So worth the road trip to see the fabulous Mary Quant Exhibition

Worth checking out this small but very lovely exhibition 💜
