Fashion retailer AllSaints is partnering with housing charity Shelter in order to mark World Homelessness Day on 10 October with a host of sustainable fashion events.
In the move, which coincides with the fashion brand’s 30th anniversary, AllSaints will donate 5,000 pieces of quality womenswear, accessories, one-of-a-kind pieces, samples and items from past collections to Shelter, to be sold in the charity’s secondhand shops.
Standout lines from the donations will include hand-picked designer and vintage pieces, listed as ‘The best of Shelter’.
A further highlight will be Golden Ticket items – AllSaints gems handpicked by the brand’s design director and ‘hidden’ in selected Shelter and Shelter Scotland stores.
