The Empty Shop Manchester + Weekend Links

   

The Empty Shop is a charity concept brought to our shores via Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's an innovative way of collecting unwanted clothing and distributing them to people in need, with the idea being, "Bring Clothes to the Shop, Instead of Taking them from the Shop". All clothing will be merchandised throughout the day by local stylists and bloggers, then at the end of the day the store is emptied and all donation are given to homeless charity, The Mustard Tree.

On Monday 27th you will be able to find me helping out at The Empty Shop, in Manchester Arndale Centre, just outside Next! So if you're in the area, bring some clothes down, come say hi and donate to a great cause. More details here, click play to see how it works. Have a good one folks!

  7. I love the idea of the 'empty shop' - such a great concept, I think it'd go down a storm in London too.

  8. This sounds great! I love Manchester though I've only visited recently for work - I'd love to explore the city more. Looking forward to your photos from the day soon!

    Oh and in answer to the healthy food stuffs from Japan - they do have cute packaging for almost everything, but candy is obviously where it's at.
