Whip open the closet, declutter that over-flowing wardrobe and then….kerching!!! Listen to those shiny pound coins falling into the piggybank.
If you’re looking to get more out of those little-worn pieces lurking at the back of your wardrobe (and let’s face it, in these credit crunchy times, who isn’t?) there’s no need to resort to unfruitful clothing agencies or to worry your pretty little head with flogging on eBay – instead, try brand new fashion company ‘Closet Bureau’ on for size.
Set up by former fashion PR Sophia Greene, the Closet Bureau will sell your preloved items for you, hassle-free. For a small commission of course. A seasoned eBay fashion buying/selling expert, Sophia knows how to get the best price for your clobber. Oh, and it’s not just your designer items she’s after - if you have any special items, think Topshop a la Kate Moss or a few Reiss’ Pieces then add them to the pile and she’ll pick them up for free from London zones 1 and 2.
Hmmm, but now we ponder....Closet Bureau came up trumps for us, our wardrobes are looking a bit too roomy for their own good and more importantly we now have a few quid burning a hole in our pocket…..
What is a girl to do?
Fashion alert! Clothes swapping enters the glamour stratosphere as the likes of Mimma Viglezio (Gucci Group world wide communication director) and Gretchen Owen (Contributing fashion editor Harpers Bazaar) step in to show us how the uber fashionistas recycle their wardrobes.
These fun one-off events sees the good, the fab and the downright beautiful clothes offered to those special few. Prices start at a healthy fiver so flex those spending brain cells and pick up a few preloved bargains from those in the know. The next event takes place in London so get those tickets NOW….
