Vintage Sales, Recycling & Costume Re-homing
Gladrags started its sales venture in November 2018 in order to make space in our store and raise funds for our community work. We have grown this into a fully-fledged Ebay shop running alongside other real-life sale events. Our ethos of sustainability and re-cycling tailors nicely into passing on good quality second-hand clothing to give them another lease of life with a new owner. Completing the circle, we also offer un-sellable items to local schools and community groups with our 'Costume Re-homing' scheme. Recently we have helped a couple of SEN schools start a costume box for their drama department and provided fabric supplies to a womens refuge crafting group.

Our welcoming winter market wil be held in a unit close to our premises at Westergate Business Centre, Brighton, BN2 4QN on Sat 4 December. 11am-3pm Free entry.

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.
