Gladrags' Sales
Gladrags started its sales venture in November 2018 in order to make space plus raise funds for our community work. Our ethos of sustainability and re-cycling tailors nicely into passing on good quality second-hand items to give them another lease of life with a new owner.
We have grown this into a fully-fledged Ebay shop running alongside other real-life sale events. Mostly we sell vintage clothes, accessories, fabric (deadstock by the metre & remnants); also haberdashery, occasionally props and sewing machines. .
We also offer un-sellable items to the community via our 'Costume Re-homing' scheme. For more info click here>

Unique retro treats are always on hand at our online store: ebay/shop

Christmas Market Sat 4 Dec 2021
The Gladrags' Christmas market returns! We raised £1100 at our winter market selling vintage clothes, retro fabric and wares from local businesses & independent makers.
Funds from this sale enable us to continue providing subsidised or free costume hire to local schools, community groups, and supports our work with out-reach projects.
Thank you everyone for your support!

Sew Fabulous hosted this amazing event celebrating all things to do with Fashion Textiles and Sustainability. Gladrags were there promoting our community work and volunteer programme, plus we ran a very popular craft activity. Sales of retro fabric remnants and vintage clothes totalled just over £400 raised - Thank you!

Thank you to all who came to our Christmas Market, we raised an amazing £2000! A fantastic Christmas present towards our charitable work that will greatly help us to be ready to support communities when we can open fully again. It was a pleasure to welcome local craft-makers to join us selling their wares, a first for a Gladrags sale event.
