✨ Great fashion deserves a second life, and sometimes a third!
A lovely example of how long-standing friendships, sustainable fashion and a shared purpose can come together.
Rachel, our Dress for Success Illawarra Operations Manager and a former Novocastrian, has been buying and selling clothes with Sue from Newcastle’s Second to None Consignment Boutique for more than 20 years.
On a recent visit, Sue generously donated another beautiful collection of premium clothing, including labels such as Camilla and Marx, Veronica Maine and Mela Purdie, to Dress for Success.
Rather than take the clothes back to Illawarra, Rachel delivered them to our Newcastle boutique, where they’ll be put to wonderful use through our free styling service.
It’s a lovely example of circular fashion in action. Quality clothing finding a new home, women being supported to take their next steps with confidence, and two Dress for Success boutiques working together.
A huge thank you to Sue and Second to None Consignment Boutique for your generosity, and to Rachel and our Illawarra team for sharing the love!
If you’re in Newcastle and love quality pre-loved fashion, Second to None is well worth a visit. 💛💛💛
