Sustainable Shopping

Start to Buy Better and Buy Less

I began shopping in charity shops when I was sixteen – I loved searching for 80’s style boots, clothes and accessories, something about the exaggerated styles, over the top gold jewellery and belts along with all of the bold colours really spoke to me.

When I found something I loved I just couldn’t wait to wear it to college the next day as I knew that no one else would look the same as me.

As the years have gone by my love of unique style second hand fashion remains, along with an ever growing passion for supporting small and sustainable businesses, all working together to do better for the planet when it comes to manufacturing clothes.

My Aim is to Educate

Some may see personal styling as frivolous, when in actual fact my aim is to share my knowledge and educate my clients so they know exactly what suits them and their lifestyle, understand what is missing from their wardrobes so they can start to buy better, buy less and wear their clothes with more confidence.

All of which should in theory have a positive impact on how much is going to end up in land fill, breaking the cycle of panic buying, habitual and emotional shopping habits that often end up unworn.

This is for you if…

You want to shop more consciously and care about the impact that fashion is having on the environment and ethnic minority industry workers

How it Works

We will establish your style personality by completing a pre session questionnaire
You will be asked to send me some inspiration in the form of a Pinterest board or screen shots of outfits that excites you
We will meet virtually for a 30 minute virtual consultation ahead of the shopping day, where we will discuss your questionnaire results and your mood board, review some of your go to pieces from your current wardrobe to help create an action plan ahead of the shop
On the morning of the shop I will carry out a pre shop across vintage & charity shops in Leeds City Centre before we meet and we will shop together in the afternoon
We will spend time shopping the rails together, along with trying on my pre selections and I will share my top tips for shopping pre loved
The final part of the shop will take place in a cafe, where we will finalise your list online with a range of sustainable brands and pre loved sites from my directory to complete your shop
