The first Oxfam boutique opened its doors to an eager public in Westbourne Grove, London, on Saturday 10th May. It is the first in a chain of new fashion boutiques that will offer original products from sustainable sources.
The boutiques offer a great mix of ‘Loved for Longer’ donated fashion, Fair Trade, organic, recycled and restyled clothes and accessories. Oxfam boutiques are also opening in London’s Shawfield Street and Chiswick Road later on in May and June.
A selection of Fair Trade clothing is available on Oxfam's Online Shop, including items supplied by People Tree and Assisi. Click here to browse our online range.
