Junk Shop was founded in 2005 with the aim of providing sustainable and affordable clothing.
To Quote their website:
Our clothes span a range of styles worn from sunrise to sunset by Ravers, Dreamers, Schemers, Urban Hippies, Eco-Warriors, Sci-Fi Queens and Vintage Vixens alike and are now Oxfams No.1 selling Sustainable Fashion Label.
I guess that pretty much covers us all then! They sell at retail fairs and tradeshows and also have a shop in Manchester and a small online shop. Their Manchester shop has been lovingly furnished completely using recycled or reclaimed materials from the suspended spindle shelving to a remoulded fairy liquid bottle counter and walk in wardrobe changing rooms.
Their current collection has a definite retro feel to it with cute Peter Pan collar necklaces and fifties style fit and flare dresses. There is also a great selection of jewellery including a pocket watch necklace and teapot necklace in antique brass. With prices for a dress starting at £28 and £14 for a necklace, this is probably one of the most affordable sustainable fashion brands I have come across.
If you want to have a go at making your own recycled fashion, they also run a number of courses including dressmaking and sustainable fashion.
With warmest wishes

I love the Peter Pan collars – they’re real cute! I’d love to see the inside of their shop, it sounds awesome!

It’s great to see that ethical brands can also be so stylish. The dresses are all so pretty.
