Supplement yourself

I know you’re wondering why is there is a photo of a devilishly handsome Noel Edmonds wearing a rather fetching shirt. Well don’t you think he looks dapper? He looks a little like one of our volunteers but with more hair.

Well I got thinking when I saw this photo that he probably didn’t have this lying around in his wardrobe (maybe HE did) but more went out and bought it from, maybe a charity shop? I have come to the conclusion that in today’s world it isn’t just bargain hunters, or specific charity shop buyers that buy clothes from charity shops but more everyday people wanting to supplement their wardrobe by mixing and matching high street/designer gear with one offs from charity shops.

People assume we have these custom one off pieces that are so old the moths are even extinct but not so true, a lot of what we sell is pretty much your run of the mill, new look, zara, topshop and surprisingly Primark which goes down a storm because it’s a quick fashion turnover selling quirky pieces. A bit like us, so we supplement your wardrobe so it looks fuller, you’re still on trend and you have more choice.

Ask yourself this question if you’re a serious charity shop buyer (like Noel) then what percentage of your wardrobe is second hand?  I did get a bit perturbed today when two young girls were on their mobile and their mum must have asked where they was and they answered “just going past the junk shop”. You mean the junk you have on your back? Because seriously I could dress you better and it would be more fashionable. I have to defend my cause right? Too much of what we say and do is censored for fear of controversy, I have just re-discovered this word and it’s my friend.
I hope to bring a lot more of it to you. Joke.
