A vintage clothing business is bringing a pop-up shop to Swindon later this month.
The Worth the Weight sale will be at MECA on Sunday, 26th February, from 12pm although there are early-bird tickets available between 10-11am.
The largest kilo seller of vintage clothes in the UK, Worth the Weight, is bringing nine tonnes of clothes from 1960s-1990s to MECA where Swindon shoppers can browse through 60 rails of vintage clothes from a broad range of categories, styles and brands will be available for purchase for £20 per kilogram.
Worth the Weight was set up in 2018 to fight fast fashion by selling second hand fashion at affordable prices.
Marketing assistant for Worth the Weight, Rowan Wolowacz said: “In the UK last year, 31 per cent of clothes ended up in landfill sites.
“This amounts to approximately 350,000 tonnes of clothes. Our mission is to divert these clothes from landfill, slow down the trend cycle and to provide a sustainable alternative to fast fashion.
“We do this by providing quality vintage clothing from all over the world that you might not find anywhere else at an accessible price.”
Tickets are available from £2 from the Facebook event page.
