Pre-Owned Fabulousness

Since the opening of Mary's Living and giving shop for Save The Children last year in Westbourne Grove I have been popping in and out and I know longer want to keep such delights to myself!!! You may have all heard of the shop, I mean come on....... not only has Mary Portas done such an amazing job in raising it's profile but it has to be one of the most fashionable charity shops in London Town! 

Expect to feast your eyes on pre-owned Chanel, Vivienne Westwood, Prada and even your favourite ethical brands, I spotted a pair of Toms shoes along with a few Stella McCartney pieces too, all at a fraction of the price! Ladies treat yourselves to something special, with the knowledge of all profits going to the charity Save The Children with a visit to the Mary's Living & Giving shop in Westbourne Grove or Primrose Hill.

Both shops are always looking for donations, so if you've done a clear out recently, take that abandoned black bag of clothes out of the attic and in the very kind hands of the volunteers at one of the stores. Not only will Mary love you for it, but we will too! You know what they say... one woman's trash is another woman's treasure!

Kate Mouse designed by Simeon Farrar

Designer Simeon Farrar is doing his bit for the charity Save the Children, with the use of his ‘Kate Mouse’ famous print T-shirt.

These are special editions with donations going to help Japan and the devastating effects of the recent tsunami.

This is an opportunity to own a piece of British fashion history while helping Japan.

The minimum donation to get yourself a T-shirt is just £20 but be quick as this limited offer is only available during March. Click here to find out how you can get your hands on a Kate Mouse T-Shirt!
