I just wanted to say
Just wanted to say I absolutely loved the event on Saturday and I love everything you're doing! It made me so happy leaving knowing that my clothes will likely be worn again and will be saved from landfill!

about us
The Circular Studio - Where fashion finds a second life. We rescue preloved clothing from landfill, giving every piece a chance to be rehomed, re-loved, and re-worn. Because falling out of love with your clothes shouldn’t mean the end of their journey.
Last year we hosted our end of Summer Sale, which was a fan favourite and so we're back with our end of Winter Sale! What to expect- Items on rails, grouped into sizes + price ...
